Good god I hate school ranking lists. They're some of the most arbitrary lists ever made, just say your parameters. Highest starting salary, highest percentage placement upon graduation, lowest acceptance rate, or 25% placement / 25% salary, 25% drug supply, etc..
I love when they use acceptance rate. Every bammer with a GED is applying for acceptance into the school, so they can party and get football tickets. What the survey needs to show is the ACT/SAT Score of those turned away.

Nevermind, misunderstood what you were arguing. But that's still idiotic to say

Anything to do with demand v. acceptance in a school's ranking is fricking bullshite. We have a top 10% rule in Texas, so that ridiculously fricks over our acceptance rating. If we have 85,000 top 10%ers apply, we have to accept all 85,000.

I'm not even sure I would get into Alabama now, if I was applying in 2013 as opposed to 2001. And I ended up getting a BS and MS in Civil Engineering.
