[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]

There is practically no difference between #3 and #9, or #9 and #14, or #42 and #56. Obviously schools matter to some extent, but the student matters much more. A student who chooses classes well, works hard, and get involved in activities that interest them will get a much better education at a "mediocre" school than someone who just coasts by at a "top" school.[/quote]

There can be a significant 'culture' difference between a 3 and a 9 or 9 and 14. There are some schools known to have a depressed and highly cutthroat, non-collaborative environment.

So, yeah, outcomes won't be too different post college---but mental health and happiness may be!![/quote]
