<p>Is this about right?</p>

<p>Tufts, William & Mary, Rice, Wake Forest, all have PA scores way below the quality of their student bodies. Can anyone truly believe that some of above listed schools are remotely comparable to these schools? If so, imagine you are going into heart surgery. What diploma do you want to see on the wall?</p>
