<p>Gaitian, I see the same thing, that Wartburg is a tier 3 school. That leads to a question I have on things like that. It’s tier 3 in liberal arts colleges. Luther is tier 1 in that category. How much really separates colleges in each tier? Is it that big of a deal?</p>
<p>What if you want to compare them to a college in a different category, is that like comparing apples to oranges? Say you find one that is in tier 2 of baccalaureate colleges. How can you make good comparisons to those in the liberal arts category? I am assuming some of this might be fluff and shouldn’t be taken too seriously if the “fit” of the college seems right for the student. Any perspective on how to evaluate those rankings in the real world?</p>
