<p>The</a> Decade's 15 Hottest Colleges - The Daily Beast</p>
<p>I haven’t been too impressed by Daily Beast articles about higher education, and this one’s no exception. Reading it, you wonder if the author realized that Chancellor Gee has been gone for more than 2 years - sure, he was a visionary and I liked the guy, but how accurate is it to hand him all the credit for Vandy’s increased selectivity? Also, the article is totally off on the distribution of merit aid - only 127 out of 1599 freshmen received non-need-based aid last year, though the finaid is strong for students with need. Just a lot of inaccuracies in a 6-sentence blurb.</p>
