At What Point Do Rankings Stop Mattering?

<p>^^^ I thought it was about BYU vs UK - or at least about #75/69 vs #120…</p>

<p>I can think of several students who would rather work locally than at an elite “anything.” Students kind of self-select (or should) based upon their goals. When kids ask me anything related to college at school, the first thing I ask them is what their goal is (second is rough finances) - then we discuss some places to consider. I’ve never met one who HAD to go tippy top due to wanting a top consulting job. I’m sure those are out there, but not here. Many will have BYU vs UK types of questions.</p>
