<p>I think it would be awesome to have an ETA score. This score would represent how extra terrestials view universities, in terms of the abductability of students. And yes, I believe I am qualified to speak for all other intelligent life in the universe. here’s my idea of how the aliens would rank the schools. </p>

<p>Oh come on. The most abductable students would definitely be in rural, desert areas. I would top the list with University of Nevada, but not the Las Vegas campus. Where do most of the reported alien abductions happen? I bet not in Boston or California</p>
<p>^
Deep Springs would probably top the list. It’s so isolated and small, few would miss the students. :D</p>
<p>In California, surely UC Sunnydale would be the most attractive to aliens.</p>
<p>How is ChoklitRain able to rank all these colleges from an EXA perspective if he has no ETA Experience whatsoever.</p>
<p>What a joke…</p>
<p>A student missing from Deep Springs would go noticed much too quickly for regular abductions to be a real possibility.</p>
<p>^
No, they’d probably just abduct all 30 of them. They’re not allowed to leave campus during the year anyway, so they wouldn’t be noticed missing for quite some time.</p>
<p>The concept of the “university” will be inconceivable to their immortal, hive minds.</p>
<p>This makes about as much sense as the other top university rankings on CC by posters. Pretty funny premise too I might add. Btw, I still would combine Wharton with UPenn. ;-)</p>
<p>Is this the same as hawkette’s EA list?</p>
<p>Cheeky bast*rd.</p>
<p>Funny how hawkette doesn’t realize her language in her initial post makes it sound like there was actually a survey of employers rather than her own perception.</p>
