<p>Balletgirl- Notre Dame and Brigham Young Universities have strong attraction for Catholics and Mormons respectively where these groups form a majority. So these schools show up in studies that look at student preferences. Basically there is a subset of brilliant Mormon students who prefer Brigham Young over the Ivies.</p>

<p>It's funny how Harvard immediately turns up with a few #1's...it's got them shooting up to second place overall....Brown has fallen to 4th...Columbia has risen to 5th. Right now, Yale still stands alone far above any other school (24 less pts. than 2nd place) in the standings, and Cornell stands significantly below the others (29 pts. below 7th place). Harvard, Princeton, and Brown are very close at 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Columbia, Dartmouth, and Penn are separated by merely two points. It's getting pretty intense.</p>

6 times means that the school has been ranked #1 as a favorite 6 times.</p>

<p>I decided to eliminate the actual individual data with all those numbers for each person's reply to make it easier to read. If anyone wants the actual numbers just PM me.</p>
<p>Just a note: Yale has never been ranked last.</p>
<p>Actually is should be Columbia/ Dartmouth tied for 5th at 217pts each if you want to be picky...</p>
<p>Sorry about that. Thanks slipper!</p>

<p>Wow, what a joke.</p>
<p>pineapplebananas brought to my attention a flaw in the rankings.
Basically, I'm changing the rankings system so that someone who gives a favorite as, say, Yale, will give Yale 1 point and the rest of the schools 8 points.</p>
<p>Here's her explanation:</p>
<p>Right now, when people say they have no interest, you simply award all other schools a tie for the remaining rank. But that can sometimes give certain schools advantages over others.</p>
<p>For instance, 1 person picks Brown, and only brown. </p>
<p>You give the following scores
1. Brown 1
2. All else 2</p>
<p>Then another person picks 1 Yale, 2 Princeton, 3 Brown, and nothing else.</p>
<p>The scores would be
1. Yale 3
2. Princeton 4
3. Brown 4
4. The others 6</p>
<p>But that is not correct at all. Of the two people surveyed, Brown is the only school desired by both. That means it should have the highest ranking.</p>
<hr>
<p>BASICALLY, the points awarded were changed a bit to accomodate for this flaw. Now the rankings are as follows:</p>
<p>CURRENT OVERALL RANKINGS:</p>
<p>1 Yale 200
2 Brown 250
3 Princeton 261
4 Harvard 266
5 Penn 291
6 Columbia 298
7 Dartmouth 305
8 Cornell 322</p>
<p>Yale retains its sizeable lead, the many people with Brown as their favorite brought Brown's ranking up to 2nd, with Princeton and Harvard following closely behind. Penn, Columbia, and Dartmouth are bunched together at 5, 6, and 7. Cornell has closed in on them significantly, but is still behind by 17 pts. Sorry if this caused any confusion.</p>
