Getting a degree in meth will do it.

This "outcomes focused" bullshite is a massive problem with society and is a basic staple of communism/marxism.

Many of those rankings are now based on DEI BS.

Harvard, Stanford, Columbia and University of Pennsylvania medical schools all withdrew from the rankings saying it placed to much preference on wealth and prestige of schools.
And how much are their endowments? Do they even listen to themselves talk? They're like Chatty Kathy dolls pulling their own strings.

Maybe they should focus on things other than mutilating children.

I have to say just walking around Vandy’s campus, even on a Friday afternoon, always makes me want to go study and learn. Definitely a 180 from my actual college experience

Yeah! How dare a university be evaluated on it's actual present day merits and the market value of the degrees it confers, instead of being praised for being great just because it always has been. lol:

Damn these pesky public schools for offering more valuable degrees at lower price points that leave their graduates better off in life overall! They're the real problem!

I like to tell the Vandy types that Ole Miss is just as good if not better. You should see how angry they get.

Tell an OM fan the Grove is overrated and that you much prefer SMU’s campus. The melt looks like ice cream on August asphalt.

I say this every year, but these lists are always distorted by cost of living and wages, as well as population.

All schools outside the top 15 are teaching the same thing

One of the biggest reasons for the slip in rankings is they deleted things like alumni giving as part of their rankings criteria.

They've added in some DEI stuff.

Vanderbilt ranks high in wokeness, per someone I know that is connected to that institution.

They celebrate Queerdom, Trans and radical feminists like they were the greatest discovery in human history.

Straight, white males are people they don't have much use for or attach much value to them.

Only until they are the grads that become successful, and then they beg the shite out of them for donations.
