[quote=Anonymous]I think the sourthern versus national ranking is the key. USNews ranks schools as nationals and regionals and Va Tech is National and JMU is regional. More to the point, though, in USNews list of top public’s nationally, Tech is 25. UVA and W and M are higher. George Mason and VCU also make the top 150. No James Madison. Va Tech wasn’t always that high but it has gotten higher as it has expanded its offerings and become more popular. And JMU didn’t even start awarding PHDs until something like the last 30 years. It is just not the same. At a certain point, the insistence that JMU is above Tech is just silly. That doesn’t mean it is a bad school. As one PP said. Va Tech people don’t really seem to argue that it is below UVA and W and M but they still love their school. JMU was popular but it didn’t propel that popularity into lasting higher rankings. It just didn’t. But it is still a good school.[/quote]
