[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the take away being that these schools are now worse than they were before (or better, depending on the school) rather than that rankings are deeply flawed and arbitrary. [/quote]

It is all very dumb. Ranking is for people who lack confidence and can't think for themselves, I guess. To think that you would judge a school differently over a "rank" change when the school itself and the schools it is ranked against haven't changed at all. Madness.[/quote]

Yes I am trying to figure out what does it even mean? What are the real world implications? Is it just ego driven competition in certain segments of the UMC? I know plenty of UMC for who this won't matter at all. They would rather send their kids to Wake et. al. so they continue to network with the same people they always would, which is not Michigan State.

FWIW of all of the high ranked publics, UNC is the most overrated. That school is extremely messed up right now, a lot of it due to the legislature and politics in NC.
