[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The changed methodology favors schools that admit low-income students (Pell Grant recipients). UCLA and Berkeley admit a far greater percentage of Pell Grant students than most Top 25 schools https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/nati...rsity-among-top-ranked-schools [/quote] It favors schools that admit low-income students AND where those students do well. This shouldn't be a surprise. Their high school ratings are looking at the same thing -- how well schools do with ALL kinds of students. [b]Getting great results from students who have had every advantage since birth is not nearly as impressive as a school that gets great results from everyone it admits.[/b] [/quote] Agreed. I noticed for example that Grinnell jumped from 18 to 11 -- 7 spots in one year. Grinnell is far more economically diverse than most elite SLACs.[/quote]
