Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 4743740, member: 34"] My thinking is fine on it and I believe it's important to show how different criteria can radically change rankings. A school like FIU, which is a state school is going to have lower debt ratios due to lower tuition and plenty of in-state merit and need-based aid. You graduate and can live a nice middle income lifestyle. Someone earlier mentioned Rice being lower than expected. It's a smaller, private school whose students are more likely to come from higher income backgrounds so there isn't much social mobility. You were good coming in and you'll live a nice life. The WSJ rankings are going to highlight many of these smaller, private schools with good reputations don't produce better outcomes (other than better networking) than state schools. And, within the state schools, regional state schools can produce better outcomes than the flagships. [/QUOTE]
