Very interesting.[/quote]

Anyone in Virginia with two brain cells knows that W&M is leaps and bounds a better education than JMU or Mason. Tech and W&M are hard to compare because they are so different in size and focus and both fairly selective. But come on, this is absurd.[/quote]

These rankings are based on outcomes.  And as a Virginian with three kids in three of the above schools, I agree with them.  I'm sorry, but I don't subscribe to this mindless "W&M is leaps and bounds a better education" than X or Y.  The W&M boosters on this forum are absolutely insufferable.

"Unlike other school rankings, this list emphasizes one point: How well did the college prepare students for financial success? More than any other factor, it rewards the boost an institution provides to its graduates’ salaries, beyond an estimate of what they could have expected from attending any college."[/quote]
