[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 196592, member: 77"] Regardless of the methodology, this ranking is from a reputable source and defines, to some degree, perception as well. [U] [URL]http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/page+4[/URL] National University Rankings[/U] Stanford #4 [I](they [#2] rank higher than us [#6] in Engineering, too. No, that's not a typo.)[/I] Duke #8 ND #18 Uva #26 Wake #27 BC/UNC tied for #30 GT #36 GT is a good school, but it's not Nirvana to the geek athletes around the country. To think so is just wishful thinking, chest pounding, back patting or all the above (and I'm a grad). We get a lot of mileage on the return on investment angle and the "one in 6" line, but scholar athletes have plenty to choose from when they want a great education. Believe it or not, scholar athletes are such because they are forward thinking young men with life long goals. Unfortunately, many of them want to pursue career paths for which other schools are in a better position to sway them. We are narrow in scope. That hurts us with this subset. Stanford is the holy grail for these guys and the fact that they recruit so well nationally with basically the same athletic spending as us is evidence. [/QUOTE]
