Colleges with Cricket

So the strength of a school can be quantified by incoming tests scores?

Ideally, one should also consider other factors. Like cricket, apparently.

We could disregard test scores entirely and go with the Forbes college ranking system – since it doesn’t use test scores at all. In that case, here’s how Forbes ranks the schools mentioned above:

23 Haverford
30 Cornell
40 Berkeley
44 Michigan
89 Georgia Tech
93 Texas

So this approach yields the same general conclusion as one based on test scores alone.

I’m not necessarily endorsing the idea that college decisions should be based on (1) rankings and (2) cricket. One could easily question the value of both criteria (especially if you’ve played baseball). I’m only suggesting that if those are the criteria, then Haverford deserves consideration.
