"You should go to a Top __ School"; how important do you think ranking is?

<p>When it comes to LAC’s, the difference between top 40 and top 70 is almost nothing. Fit and geography should matter a lot more.</p>

<p>OK, I looked, and around 40th are Dickinson, Franklin&Marshall, Skidmore, and Whitman.</p>

<p>Around 70th are Berea, Wooster, Hillsdale, and Wheaton (MA).</p>

<p>Which is hilarious because when you ranking by student awards won, Wheaton ranks the highest of these 4 schools.</p>
