<p>I do not remember seeing Smith ranked higher than my alma mater, despite having had a higher PA. What I have written about is the poor treatment of the most selective LAC (Harvey Mudd and Pomona) being clobbered by a moronic interpretation of the expected graduation rate, and the benefits given to all-female schools in that regard because of their lower selectivity was negated by that precise expected graduation rate. In so many words, having a lower selectivity helped more than it did hurt. </p>
<p>If you think that analysis was wrong, so be it! :)</p>
