<p>contrapositive, I see you’ve created several threads here on CC asking people to compare several schools to UOP. That’s wonderful, and that could initiate interesting conversation about the relative merits of your pairings: UOP vs Santa Clara, UOP vs U of Oregon, on and on etc. I’m guessing these are schools you are considering attending, or have some other interest in hearing how people feel UOP stacks up against other schools. It’s likely some lively conversations would benefit other applicants considering these pairings as well. </p>
<p>But you might want to be a wee bit friendlier and less confrontational when folks take the time to reply back with their opinions, and not challenge them on what you perceive to be flaws in their “arguments” or be so judgmental about their “analysis” and label their opinions as “problematic.”</p>
<p>This is College Confidential, not the U.S. Supreme Court, for goodness sakes! </p>
<p>If there were magic formulas to come up with some absolutely objective ranking system to compare colleges without subjective data leaking in (including what a student is looking for in a college experience, the biggest variable of all!), I’m guessing people smarter than us would have created it by now. </p>
<p>Just a suggestion: Lighten up! Be nicer to the people offering you their OPINIONS. Cold hard facts can be found in all these schools websites and in their published Common Data Sets (and even there, some subjectivity in how they report data will affect numbers.) </p>
<p>Chill a bit… You might actually get more people entering into your conversations! Isn’t that what you’d like?</p>
