Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 4023837, member: 153"] You're actually saying that you trust USNWR more than people who use millions and millions of dollars to study departments and breakdown research and scholarship according to the number and quality of projects / publications / patents, etc. USNWR collates data from a survey, and the biggest factors in that survey are admissions rate + reputational scores as judged by university presidents. Your former president at FSU is actually infamous for once dropping schools like Cornell and Boston College to the third tier while ramping up directional state schools and his former jobs into the first tier. It's absurd. Trust me, the AAU people know what they're doing. [/QUOTE]
