Rankings were discussed in a different thread.
TLDR: US news changed their formula which overwhelmingly hurt private colleges because they no longer consider factors like faculty, class sizes, etc that AU historically has done well in. As well, rankings really don’t matter as much as they used to. The only people who care about rankings are prospective students and their families (and maybe the occasional grad school), but not employers.
The admissions statistics are on par for a school like AU (41% AR, 20k applicants). It’s absolutely in line with its sister schools.
