<p>Help! I am being ganged up on by Paper Tigers.</p>
<p>Baelor, it is clearly obvious that iambth is not attending the college of his first choice…</p>
<p>must be tough being a reject from your favorite school…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s what I thought. 
Prove your claims or get out of here, scum. You are unworthy to be in the same room as my haughty self until you prove this claim:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Do it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s pretty clear what that was. 0:-) My guess is first choice P, second choice Brown.</p>
<p>My guess is that there is a fair amount of corruption going on with the rankings. I highly doubt a school like Michigan is this total Jesus Christ school that is Top 3 in everything. They just have a ton of money to pay the US News.</p>
<p>I’m also cynical as hell though, so you might just want to take this post with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I never said Princeton (“A Taste of Heaven”) is “terrible.”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So predictable. But then again, you’re a Princetonian.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If it were good, then people would pick it over other top schools. You said that they don’t. Hence in the context of your 99th percentile cohort, it is comparatively terrible.</p>
<p>See? You said it right here:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What schools win cross-admit battles again? I forgot. Oh, no, wait, there’s no evidence extant that justifies this claim. :p</p>
<p>Prove it or leave the paper tigers alone, even if you think they are stewing in their own filth.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Prove you’re not an HYSM reject. Do it. And please, watch your language. Many impressionable youngsters use this website.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not asking you to prove that you’re attending any school. I’m just asking you to provide the cross-admit stats that you spewed forth. I realize that my request was ambiguous because your sentence had two unjustified components.</p>
<p>Prove it or I will consider it an admission that you unleash upon the unsuspecting masses whatever drivel is concocted in the twisted recesses of your mind.</p>

<p>Oh, you mean the estimate that is three years old and based on incredibly incomplete data? </p>
<p>Convincing. You are admitting, then, that you don’t have the actual data?</p>
<p>According to ARWU ranking methodology, the following statement seems reasonable: “Arts and humanities are not ranked because of the technical difficulties in finding internationally comparable indicators with reliable data. Psychology/Psychiatry is not included in the ranking because of its multi-disciplinary characteristics” [ARWU</a> FIELD Ranking Methodology 2009](<a href=“http://www.arwu.org/ARWUFieldMethodology2009.jsp]ARWU”>http://www.arwu.org/ARWUFieldMethodology2009.jsp)</p>
<p>Benchmarking needs verifiable facts; interpretation is even harder. </p>
<p>Back to US News rating, IMHO, USNWR ranking can be better improved if they provide the means for users to select the weight (importance) of various factors, which could provide more meaningful (weighted average) results from the user perspective.</p>
<p>Do you guys think Emory should be 17?
Or should it be lower?</p>
<p>Why are CC ■■■■■■ so bad? They aren’t really entertaining, just obnoxious.</p>
