<p>okay, i remember college of wooster being above 100 last year and now its 125? this year they seemed to have a lot of research successes, professors got a bunch of important accolades (which IMO should be the most important criteria for any school) and not to mention even using conventional (i.e. flawed) data, they are welcoming the strongest freshman class in years… shouldnt it at least have kept its rank?? and LOL at sarah lawrence’s 100+ drop. did they REALLY have that rough of a year?</p>
<p>these are hardly the only strange rankings on this list… but then again… this is why college rankings and people’s obsession with prestige is ludicrious so much of the time. what ever happened to what school offers each individual student the best intellectual growth, not the most prestige?</p>
