[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest change is Wisconsin.  They really dropped off from their high ranking. [/quote]

Wisconsin went from #5 to #35.  12 other public schools have since passed it up. I had no idea that Wisconsin dropped that much. Thanks to the OP for bring this to my attention.  Shows how    Wisconsin hasn’t kept pace with other top publics. [/quote]

[b]UVA is next. They are dropping more and more every year[/b]. [/quote]

What are you talking about?  They went from 25 to 24 this year. [/quote]

UVA is in a four-way tie, and it is arguably the worst of them. I won't be surprised if UVA falls into the T30 range this year. [/quote]

🙄 this is nonsense.  You write as if you have some objective, empirical insight into how “good” colleges are.  You don’t.  Rankings are stupid.  Especially pretending to distinguish between 24 and 27.  So ridiculous.  I’m not saying those colleges are the same.  They aren’t.  But, as in everything else, they have their own positives and negatives, and one person’s positive is another’s negative.  Hence it’s folly to even attempt.  And asinine for us to put any stock in it. [/quote]

So many factors are more important than a colleges "rank" when it comes to whether it is a good fit or whether you will be happy there and get a good education.

Yes, within reason. Being ranked last might mean something. [/quote]
