[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the real world, Rochester is far from being a peer to schools like USC, NYU, or BU which are highly competitive.

Parents and students don't consider Rochester as their peer, hence it ends up with 36% acceptance rate and 21% yield.
Almost 4 out of 10 people can walk in, and out those only 2 out of 10 are willing to attend.

Peerness is determined by the actual parents and students and we can easily see the result.

Actually peerless is best determined by the schools themselves and who they compare themselves too. All of the schools that you mentioned are good schools and academic peers. Differences in admissions rates can be entirely explained by location.[/quote]

NOPE. It's not the magazines or schools determine peerness. 
It's the paying customers(parents and students) for the products and services who determine that.
If Rochester was a peer, it would be as competitive as the other schools, but not at all.

There are hundreds of schools in the Boston, NYC, and LA area. Location helps, but only handful of them are competitive like USC, NYU, BU.

You can make excuse so much. Rocheser just couldn't overcome whatever disadvantage it has and it failed to become a peer school to those competitive schools.

Nope, it is the fact that the schools that you mentioned consider Rochester a peer in the comparison that the schools themselves provide to the govt. that let's one know who actual peers are. You might want to try working with actual facts and data from the schools themselves.[/quote]

'provide to the govt'??
What do you mean? 
Let me see.

Nonetheless, what parents and students consider and act matters.
Evaluations from parents and studetsn are based on actual facts, data, references, etc. 
At the end, we get the actual result which shows parents and students don't consider URochester a peer.
Other schools are much competitive with way higher yield.

Look up IPEDS slipknot. In the end you obviously aren’t qualified to have this conversation. Your intellectual capabilities aren’t up to the challenge for this one.[/quote]

Where in IPEDS schools submitted whom their peers are? [/quote]
