No ShoeFactory, UCI needs to improve their API and ELC acceptance rates to rise in ranking. It is simply a fact. It is one of the ranking criteria.

And as for your difficulty comparison, we will just have to disagree. My kids go to a top high school and it was very competitive. I however realize the HUGE difference for a kid growing up poor in a crummy high school. The amount of motivation it takes to succeed in that situation is 100 times what it takes for a student with wealth or even a student from the middle class.
