<p>^^^If I am not mistaken, this WSJ ranking method looks at the “per graduate” rate for the entire undergraduate student body, which is not a bad way to do it, but fails to take into account that Vanderbilt includes the Peabody School of Education. Graduates of Peabody are generally not trying to gain admission to top Law and Medical schools, or the other graduate programs included in the WSJ study. I’m not knocking Peabody, it is a very good education program; however, I think it might unfairly dilute Vanderbilt’s statistics to not account for it.</p>
<p>Just a thought.</p>
