[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which ranking is important -is which ranking is important to you. Which source do you identify with. What information do you need. We found US News the most helpful in a [b]gauging the competitiveness of college admission[/b] -especially for National Universities. We were able to zero-in on the range of likely schools.[/quote] For that you can just search for acceptance rates which is more accurate that USNWR. [/quote] Not true - acceptance rate is just a statistic - it doesn't tell you about the quality of the candidates you are competing against. Putting aside those who had no business applying in the first place, most applicants to Harvard would be a sure thing at Penn State (as an example) and yet 90+ 5 are rejected by Harvard. If you make it easy to apply you will bring down your acceptance rate, but admission may be no more competitive.[/quote]
