Not many Midd slots left!

I wouldn’t be upset if it was considered “slightly more prestigious” (Brody rankings probably have it about right where Midd is #33 and 'Gate is #35), but the implied difference of #5 vs #17 is a much wider than “slightly more prestigious” and an unwarranted spread to me. On the national universities scale, this would be the difference between something like Stanford and Emory and don’t think the difference between Colgate and Middlebury is as great as that between Stanford and Emory.

<p>Well take a look at the U.S. News rankings and you can see the areas where Midd beats out Colgate. How does Colgate’s peer assessment score compare to Midd’s? What are the other factors that influenece the rankings gap? The lowest that Colgate has ever been in U.S. News is 15. Midd has been in the top 10 nearly every year for the past decade.</p>
