<p>Bobo, I see your point and recognize your concern and overall, yes Forbes has an impact, but it’s minimal. Midd will still receive the same number of applicants. As many have already pointed out, several schools with greater name recognition than Midd are ranked well below our beloved school. This fact makes these rankings particularly egregious. Additionally, are we to believe the educational quality at Midd is half as good as it was just a couple of years ago? Don’t worry about rankings - good or bad - Middlebury continues to be one of the best academic institutions in the land. But there are at least 25 other schools of equal quality.</p>
