Ludicrous post listing already elite schools.

It's all relative. These are already blue-chip brands that are becoming better, more burnished. Most of the names being thrown around on this thread aren't schools that are "on the rise", but merely, "Oh, we just happened to learn about them recently and they seem like a good fit for my kid." You have to look at numbers over a concerted period of time; quality of students, teaching, and faculty; research output; and financial resources. In all these metrics, the aforementioned schools are doing excellent and have great positive upward momentum. Others within their tier, not so much.

I’ve been wondering this myself. Is it the case that colleges in warmer and milder climates have stayed more open and “normal” than those in the north?

Yes. They did in the South. I can’t speak to California.

Yeah, once that Supreme Court decision comes down and other states follow suit, there will be…consequences.

Rice. If it did not have the TX in its address, it would be really high up.

IDK but I do know that a lot of the small northeastern SLACs have stayed open because of aggressive testing and quarantine protocols. A lot easier to do effectively with 2k kids vs 20k or 60k.

ASU and UArizona

Emory
