US News really needs to eliminate "freshmen retention" as a factor

<p>bc,
I’d actually use your language from # 32</p>

<p>“freshman retention rate becomes an issue when it gets down into the low 90s or below. If nearly 1 in 10 freshmen aren’t returning it suggests something is amiss academically, financially, or socially—or some combination of these”</p>

<p>I don’t consider 94% the low 90s and 94% is actually 1 in 16.</p>
