The Impact of Campus Scandals on College Applications

If one cares about USNWR rankings (I do not), it would seem to matter a lot more if the school was falling 10 spots from number 11 to number 21 than from 110 to 120. I doubt a school like Duke would drop 10 spots for the same scandal as say Oklahoma State. The top schools (be they top in academics or sports) will always have a line waiting to get in.
