[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have 4 schools at the rank of 6 because if there were 3, that would spell out 6-6-6 and then people would be afraid to apply to them.

Srsly, what kind of ranking system ends up with 4 6s in a Top 10.  It's like they didn't get the assignment OR there's practically no difference in the education on offer.[/quote]

I don't find that strange at all. If they want to reflect reality, they should really be doing tiers rather than numerical rankings because it's silly to me that a school at no. 7 is somehow objectively better than a school at no. 6. But I think they rank in specific numbers rather than in tiers because most people like it that way. [/quote]

Even tiers is useless and creates a false impression of the reality of college.[/quote]

Not useless but perhaps there can be many tier systems based on the various qualities that different kids are looking for. E.g., nerdy scientist, ambitious overachiever, party animal, armchair philosopher, etc.[/quote]
Many of the top20 if not all have all of the 4 categories in some form or another[/quote]
