It’s not the same data set, you sound like someone that graduates from a legitimately ranked 47th school.
It’s the same data set they are using for every other school, don’t make shit up for your stupid insult.It’s not the same data set, you sound like someone that graduates from a legitimately ranked 47th school.
and like I said, it’s a completely arbitrary distinction for Vandy to decide that their number of students with federal aid is too small a sample size. It’s the same thing dumb people say when they don’t agree with the results of a political poll, “They onlyData comparing outcomes that doesn’t take into account the same percentage of the student population is a poor apples to apples comparison especially as a sample size decreases.
I graduated over a decade ago, Biff, it’s a little late for the ticky tack butthurt defensiveness. I’ve got plenty invested in Wake Forest and my Wake degree. I’ll criticize the school if I feel it’s warranted, and right now we are talking about metrics of a worthless ranking system, so relax.
Yours is a bad analogy. The results from every school are limited to students on federal aid, Vandy (and Wake) just have less of those students. Vandy complaining that those students outcomes aren’t representative of their whole student body is completely arbitrary, they presented no data to defend that opinion, and no data to show why those students are accurately representative at other larger public schools.No it’s like a political poll that you have a small sample size and then you also have 70% Republican participation. Here you already are being judged based off of having a small sample size, then you take what has already been judged inadequate and double down by judging off something that’s already been deemed a negative.
Vandy be like "DON'T JUDGE US BY OUR POORS!!!"Also, if the outcomes of students receiving federal financial aid aren’t representative of the whole student body, that’s damning in itself, and they should be ashamed to be admitting that as some sort of defense.

Yeah. Pretty much. That's how percentages work.Well if you only have 10 poors and one of them fails you now only have 90% USNWR bucks but if you have 100 poors and one of them fails you still have 99% USNWR bucks
