Why is the University of Miami so high in the US News rankings?

<p>Silly, uninformed me, I failed to know Bob’s offspring were in (SNIFF!) “Private Secondary School and Private College.”</p>

<p>I guess I have to start watching “Keeping Up with the Wallace’s” on E!</p>

<p>Baghdad - I don’t care to get into snippy personal nonsense - your previous note seemed to want to paint me as somehow anti-private, that was the only point of letting you know I’m a private school customer. I’m not anti-private school or anti-Miami, I’m simply anti-foolish rankings. Have a nice day!</p>

<p>Blah - “… the magazine’s rankings are almost entirely a function of three factors: fame, wealth, and exclusivity.” Ref: <a href=“http://www.educationsector.org/usr_doc/CollegeRankingsReformed.pdf[/url]”>http://www.educationsector.org/usr_doc/CollegeRankingsReformed.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Now, where’s your source that concludes they are not based on wealth?</p>

<p>How could both Cal and Michigan not be in the top twenty? Extremely disrespectful.</p>

<p>I think Miami is now known for academic prowess (no longer just football) as indicated in today’s yahoo headline news.</p>

<p>Onetime power enters near-empty stadium</p>

<p>Enthusiasm apparently has dampened for a program that used to be a national juggernaut.</p>
