<p>The guides are published so far in advance, the stats are outdated. For example, the 2011 guides will be coming out shortly. At best, they can use admissions stats from two years ago as this year’s stats are not out.</p>
<p>As to the student reviews on the internet, I give them 0% credibility. They are unverified, oftentimes come from rival/competing schools, and the most likely posters are disgruntled students with an axe to grind. If you have 99% happy and they do not post and the 1% unhappy spew their venom, you get a very distorted picture of reality.</p>
