soozievt: I’m not talking about what you read or post. I’m referring to the fact that this website’s homepage deals first and foremost with the question of rankings (see “Ivy Guaranteed Admission Program”). What you may or may not believe, read, or post is rather irrelevant, isn’t it? The purpose of cc is to get kids into colleges which are the best “fit,” as we all know by now; and this best “fit” includes rankings of “best” academic departments, “best” (most rigorous) academics, and many, many other “best” categories.

As for theatre rankings, as I said in my first post on this thread, I had never heard of rankings for theatre, either; mainly because I didn’t and do not care enough to find out, as this is just my son’s minor, not major subject. The fact that I stated this in my first post meant that I was not posting here to a. claim that there are theatre rankings, b. state that PSU is one of the best theatre schools.

I am assuming from the article posted in the OP that PLAYBILL has their own sort of unofficial ranking of “professional theatre programs.” What that is or how they came up with this, I do not know. Nor do I even care enough to find out.

As for alwaysamom–this is sort of a private joke between her and me, as she has questioned me several times as to why I don’t post on college threads.
