<p>College</a> Rankings 2011: Most Rigorous - The Daily Beast</p>
<p>I’m very suspicious of a ranking which puts Fur-Man above Midd. This seems very silly.</p>
<p>My S has a friend there for merit, and she finds it rather easy. Of course, since the average SAT is 600-ish, maybe it’s those students who are being dragged thru the high expectations of the faculty giving it a rigorous rating. More power to them, I say.</p>
<p>Daily Beast has no explanation of how they made this rating. They list seven numbers - and the number one school, St. Johns, has an n/a for two of them. So, I have no idea what they mean by this.</p>
<p>Unless Swat is in the top 3, the list makes no sense.</p>
<p>This ranking stuff is more than a little silly.</p>
