Wake is now like SMU. They are nearly peer schools and will be closely matched in 10 years.

A 25+ year fluke?

WHO CARES. It is a small school for wealthy kids. So that alone limits who its appeal. And if you are one of the minority of families who want that - rankings mean nothing. No monetized, statistic based list has ever captured the true character of a school. If you like it - apply, attend. It’s not like the outcomes of graduates are going to be any different.
