<p>If these stats are so readily available then I don't see the problem with posting them, right? I mean, you're basing an argument on them, the least you could do is to illuminate us with your findings.</p>
<p>"And you want ME to show YOU data?"
Well, who else would? You're the one thats using it to prove your point. </p>
<p>"Is placement a gauge of prestige?"</p>
<p>I've thought about it and the answer is no. It says many things, but nothing about prestige. I wouldn't be surprised if amherst or middleburry or pomona had higher grad placement than harvard, or mit or some other research university. Does that mean those lacs have more prestige? Of course not. It means they have a very small, very smart student body that wants to go to grad school.</p>
<p>"Are you ok?"</p>
<p>Yes, I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking.</p>
