<p>All rankings have their issues, but this is interesting. And, you can re-sort the list by their various categories.</p>

<p>Note–the admission rate is what % are admitted; (lower numbers are more selective). I also found it interesting to sort by SAT/ACT, which is based on what % of students scored higher than 600 on SAT verbal and math (or higher than a set score on ACT–sorry can’t remember the #, but it was low to CC’s usual crowd).</p>

<p>Thoughts, keeping in mind the inherent probs with rankings?</p>

<p>I do think very highly of Geneseo, but I wonder if the author of this article has visited. The “town” of Geneseo is a long way from quaint. I guess it is scenic especially if you can tolerate cold wind and snow blowing across the hillside.</p>

<p>Thanks for the post! I don’t know how accurate the rankings are or not, but it’s a valuable little tool.</p>
