@Publisher , if being ranked 218 by USNWR is indicative of being a inadequate university, in your opinion what is the cutoff line for a university to be considered adequate?
I ask because the OP listed two schools ranked approximately the same. UMBC is 166. St Mary’s is #92 for LACs, which would probably place it below UNM on a combined list. I would hate for the OP to get the impression that those schools might also be subpar.
