<p>And yet another approach to the "rankings." At least they try and factor in what happens to the student after graduation.</p>

<p>Why is the date posted 05.19.08?</p>

3

<p>Interesting rankings that put a different slant on colleges. It seems that there is too much emphasis on prestige at schools rather than the quality of education one gets at the school.</p>

4

<p>5.19.08 is just publishing date for that issue of the magazine.</p>

5

<p>what is a southern methodist university?</p>

6

<p>SMU.......never heard of it?</p>

7

<p>Private U in Dallas...</p>

8

<p>SMU seems to be a decent school. Its SAT ranges are on par with UT Austin.</p>

9

<p>I believe that SMU's students are very fond if it - nice to see it get some good press.</p>

10

<p>SMU = Southern Money University :)</p>

<p>The Bush library is going there, and a lot of faculty are really upset.</p>

11

<p>Umm... Forbes is not really an authority on the whole shebang of college rankings. I think none are, as a matter of fact.</p>

<p>I'd be upset if his library was placed on my territory too.</p>

13

<p>Why would anyone be upset by someone putting a shelf full of badly completed colouring books in their university?</p>

14

<p>Woa what's this.</p>

<p>Bush is literate?</p>

15

<p>^See prior post re coloring books.</p>

<p>FYI, the CCAP rankings of national universities as published by Forbes.com is inaccurate as to CCAP's actual ranking of SMU. Forbes.com lists SMU as 13 when, in fact, it's ranked by CCAP as 43. Take a look at CCAP's own list at the bottom of its own home page:The Center for College Affordability and Productivity. As you will see, the top 20 schools now begin with Harvard and end with Brandeis. BTW, I confirmed the accuracy of the CCAP-published list by email with CCAP.</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>B77, you seem to be posting this everywhere. </p>

<p>we get it. </p>

<p>We don't care. </p>

<p>It is only a ranking.</p>
