What Vonlost said about Reed is true. They’ve gained in popularity. Would they be more popular or selective if they participated in that rag’s gimmick survey? One can guess “yes” but how do you prove it? They seem to be doing just fine by ignoring Useless News and World Distort.

It’s a shame that so many colleges are too terrified to not participate. It’s almost like a hostage situation. Like Dave72 said, USNWR doesn’t care about accuracy, they only care about selling magazines. And they’ll sell magazines any way they can. That rag would’ve disappeared if they hadn’t latched on to this rankings gimmick. They even publish rankings of hospitals. HOSPITALS! OMG!
