They just announced the new criteria.Probably? It will crush us next year. It will spiral. We didn’t adjust to their criteria. We just stuck our nose up. We are hardly a safety school even now.

None of these schools listed is being run by a broad. Makes you wonder
Are you serious?None of these schools listed is being run by a broad. Makes you wonder
of course he is. it's what happens when the dames are in chargeAre you serious?
The Wake Admin has been out of touch with reality for 50 years. Now Wente can sit around a conference table and spin it or fix it.
That is just so false. Any google search shows you the opposite.They just announced the new criteria.

Wake Forest used to combine a great academic school with a national reputation with big time college athletics. Now we have neither. We made that choice.
Didn't we just invest $125 million in athletic facilities? And when were we "big time college athletics" and decided to move from that? I'm not sure I'm following this train of thought.
This is correct, the metrics shifted away from education to research, and while your right that most students looking for a school don’t care about the University’s research reputation, most funding organizations and corporations with lots of money do care about those things. So, it’s about money.
That is so false. We were ranked in the top 10 in football after at least 7 weeks in 2021 and 2022. WF women’s golf just won the NCAA. The baseball team just went to the CWS. The crazy new USNews criteria were first announced in May. You are so FOS.That is just so false. Any google search shows you the opposite.

To some extent yes. Imagine a Bio Prof at the 80th ranks university applies for a $5million grant and a bio prof at the 3rd ranked university applies for a $5million grant. The nsf panel is gonna give some weight to #3 over #80.And those organizations are making decisions off of this ranking?
Isn’t it really just a reflection of the Joel’s size and distance from campus?That is just so false. Any google search shows you the opposite.

WF was not the last to get a collective. That said, we were not first either.We were the last school to get a collective.
Of course we are. We have a dame in chargeAre we still #1 in hottest guys ? Or did we stop having to send in our pictures with our applications in some woke blind agenda ?
Well, actually, the public perceives that list as the list of "best" schools. What do you think "best" means? To most people the best universities are the best academic schools - like the Ivys... Like MiT, like CalTech... Schools that have excellent academic reputations, that are very selective, that provide a great education, etc... People generally will not understand that this list is now ranked on very different criteria - they will just see that Wake is now like only top 50 - on par with VaTech and TX A&M - schools that accept 50 or 60 percent of applicants - and a lot of other big, generic state schools.We aren’t ranked “academically” behind those schools! What would that even mean? How would you measure academics?
If you use the word “woke”, you failed at your attempt to get educated at WF.Are we still #1 in hottest guys ? Or did we stop having to send in our pictures with our applications in some woke blind agenda ?
I mean not really. Those rankings have been a joke for years, now they've decided that PhDs don't matter nor does class size. I think I read that 17 of the 19 metrics have changed.I’ve read up on this now. My husband has a Masters from Rutgers and we often laugh that he went there. What a gut punch for Wake.
