<p>What GU has going for it is a relatively low admit rate due to its prime location in one of the major urban centers in the NE.</p>
<p>Compared to most of the other top schools, it doesn’t have nearly as many highly rated depts., nor as strong of a student body (ND’s student body is significantly stronger than GU’s).</p>
<p>Also, the whole WSJ feeder thing had been debunked many a time before.</p>
<p>^There’s no reason it should be debunked though besides sour grapes from alums of schools that didn’t fare well on the WSJ Ranking. It’s based on accurate data and tries to capture a narrow metric (professional school placement) so it’s definitely the most reliable of the bunch posted by the OP. Sure, they should have included all of Stanford’s professional schools and maybe Duke Med or something to add to geographic diversity of the programs the evaluated but hey guess what, Stanford and Duke do fantastic on the WSJ Ranking (better than every Ivy besides HYP).</p>
