<p>I guess we all have an idea about rankings but how can comparisons be made? I don’t think anyone who’s considering Mt. Holyoke or Smith would fit fit in well at the U.S. military Academy. What comprises the rankings? Random thoughts here…Birmingham South over Middlebury? Hillsdale College over Wheaton and Wheaton over Bucknell? I’d suggest each prospective student visit as many places as possible which seem to offer any pssibility of a fit. Though I for example hold the highest regard for Annapolis,neither of my kids would be happy there.</p>
