<p>Perhaps. I was taking the tone based on previous comments to mean, “But we are still only # 51”, but that is the problem with the internet of course. No intonation or body language. In any case you are right, it is absolutely not that big of a deal.</p>
<p>yeah, but Tulane is obviously a much “better” school (although “better” is arbitrary) than many of the schools ranked ahead of it</p>
