seriously? you couldn't google this?

It’s far more complicated than that, as McKinsey will tell you for top dollar. Above all, it’s a DMEECM issue.

You cannot rank any of the top 20 or so universities or top 10 or so SLACs objectively. They all have similar student bodies, vast wealth, and excellent faculty.

Then I suppose objective ranking starts at 21 or so for national universities and at around 11 for SLACs. Got it.


Can't rank any of them in a deterministic mutually exclusive exhaustively comprehensive manner which results in an objectively accurate stack ranking. They are really in buckets, and the buckets overlap, and the schools within the buckets overlap to the point that there isn't any stack ranking that works. You're trying to be clever but....let's just say you aren't and leave it at that.

You wrote this phrase. Enough said.


Yes I did. and the fact that I can write it and understand exactly what it means and how to execute it is why I make 7 figures and you .....are just you.

Now that you have commented, readers will have to suffer the above phrase yet again. But while they can turn their eyes away, in horror, you will remain blissfully unaware of the nightmare in which your mind lives. Godspeed.


If you were properly educated you would understand it.

”deterministic mutually exclusive exhaustively comprehensive manner”

They transposed two words but MECE is a foundational consulting approach to achieving deterministic results. Their point is correct.

Your phrase is barely an “improvement.” The “point” — apparently lost on you - is that there is no there there.

But forget WASPB. Now we have DMEECM. Or should it be FCAADR?

Figure this out with your little friend, then get back to me.

Not my phrase, it is a McKinsey concept, one that seemingly distresses you. Don’t know my “little friend” as you named them but probably a consultant.

Yes, and I get the gist that you “McKinsey” folk think objective college rankings are impossible, so you are completely worthless on this front. Let me give you a hint: epistemology and ontology are not a McKinsey construct. In other words, stay in your fool’s gold lane. And don’t sell yourself short: you have undoubtedly met several incarnations of your “little friend” many times before, if only in the bathroom mirror.

I completely agree with this, with one exception - Williams. That’s the one school that really is above the rest, and on par with HYPSM


While I agree that Williams is above the rest of these lacs, it's a far cry from HYPSM. It doesn't have nearly the resources or name cache or global rep as Harvard etc. It's kind of ridiculous to pretend it's on par.


Cache of what?
