Ok, first you say that Georgetown has a high PA rating (4.1) and then you say that UT-A has a low PA rating (4.1). How is 4.1 both high and low? With regards to NYU, its PA of 3.8 is in fact higher than it should be. It is much more a peer of BC than it is of schools ranked higher than it in USNWR. Brown and Dartmouth in fact do have low PAs compared to the rest of the Ivy League. Who are you comparing Brown and Dartmouth to when you say that they have no problem maintaining their PA. I know you are biased towards Cornell, but if this were truly an undergraduate ranking, dont you think Dartmouth would rank at least equal to Cornell, if not maybe 0.1 above? But Cornell, because of its many top ranked Graduate programs in the sciences and engineering, gets the higher PA.
If you can convince me that the University of Iowa is a better undergraduate institution than BC, Wake Forest, Lehigh, U of Rochester…, then maybe I will buy into your argument, but I would be extremely impressed if you could do this.
