[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, I will reiterate that Wash U reaches out to students it has no intent of admitting, encouraging them to apply, just so it can appear to be more selective. Other schools with which it would like to be compared simply don't do this. The kids see through this and most parents know exactly what they are trying to do. [/quote] Imagine that there really was such a simple inexpensive way for a school to increase its academic standing - wouldn't you be disappointed if your school was too dumb to take advantage of it?[/quote] Since when do the rankings have anything to do with "academic standing?" The rankings reward certain expenditures and distort the way schools handle admissions. I have very little respect for that.[/quote] So true - who cares about how a school ranks when I can rely on what my neighbor's cousin says? - and she actually lived in the same metro area as the school a decade ago![/quote]
