One other thing - the methodology was changed in a very interesting way this year. . . with the addition of a metric related to the perception of high school guidance counselors. I understand that perception is reality and all, but are we really going to rate colleges in a national magazine based on what guidance counselors 'perceive' to be the best? I would think they, more than anyone, understand that the best college is different for each individual student. But that's somebody else's soapbox.

Thanks for the shout-out, Jeff. Couldn't agree more that the rankings including guidance counselor perception is just further mucking the way we "evaluate" institutions.
