Hi Carolyn- I know the surveys can be off at times, but all the other colleges I asked about hovered in the eighties, (academic ratings). I flipped through the book to look for other results that might seem way off… but really located none. I’m thinking that U. Rochester may lure away some Ivy and baby Ivy candidates who wind up not being significantly challenged. Perhaps that explains the 65 for U. Rochester and 88 for Stonehill. 76% of U. Rochester students ranked in the top 10% of thier class… not nearly that high with the other colleges I asked about. I just think a lot of REALLY bright kids might be not feel as challenged as they thought they might and thus the 65 academic rating. Trust me I’m not being lazy. We’re doing our visits and reading plenty. I absolutely need input from other parents and I take all thier opinions seriously. Obviously we’ll put our “boots on ground” at these places and learn more.
