So now their methodology is valid? (No, based on a lot of things including % of alumni contributing.)

Regardless, I know I couldn't get in if I had my 1974 grades and SAT.

And Vandy fell, so they aren't happy. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...r&utm_term=230919&utm_campaign=bloombergdaily

There are better methods, but it’s something. We do well on the others, too, but this is a popular service

The great unwashed buy into it, so it's worth something. That doesn't mean their methodology is solid. In fact, it's not. But, that doesn't change perception. Just look at what the SEC has accomplished in football.

Yeah, but you, today, wouldn't have your 1974 grades and SAT. You'd have the same grades and SAT scores that the kids getting in today do. (or you would have gone somewhere else, had more fun, and not have PTSD 40 years later).

As a Texas resident it bothers me we're 1 spot behind the Aggies, sick of 'em

Having attended both Texas A&M and Ga Tech, I can say with certainty that any academic ranking which puts GT behind TAM is SERIOUSLY flawed

To add to the OP:

These rankings are flawed. Behind FL, FIU, IL, and Texas A&M? Sorry that’s way off.

Think about what is going to get WSJ more clicks. It's all about the clicks. The almighty clicks.
