"From the point of view of an NMS winner, ..."
This is a point of view for anyone, having nothing to do with being an NMS winner.
Consider these pairings from the list:
51 283 232 U Texas Austin
51 51 0 Dartmouth College
22 159 137 New York University
22 22 0 Williams College
20 60 40 Emory University
20 20 0 Swarthmore College
9 21 12 University of Mississippi
9 9 0 Wellesley College
6 10 4 Wake Forest University
6 9 3 Davidson College
If a naive HS student were instructed to use these raw numbers, she would draw false conclusions. Or is U Texas Austin (a fine school) five times better than Wellesley? Raw numbers imply such to the uninitiated.
