Who Does Your College Think Its Peers Are?

[Wuffey]

They were probably thinking of athletics.

haha

I thought WFU's peer list was pretty reasonable and didn't show an embarrassing degree of upward reaching.

C of William and Mary
Dartmouth C
Davidson C
Duke U
Emory U
George Washington U
Tufts U
U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
U of Notre Dame
U of Richmond
U of Virginia
Vanderbilt U
Washington and Lee U

Now, if you were to treat that as a list of peer athletic departments, it would a ROFLOL upward reach at this point. And Vandy doesn't even have an AD.

Duke and Dartmouth are a stretch. Heck maybe even Emory. We have stagnated in the high to mid twenties in the rankings for years.

We are most definitely on par with Emory, and in many ways, I'd argue, Dartmouth as well.

I agree with Emory, but Dartmouth is ranked 10th in the country, has a $3.5 Billion dollar endowment and a 10% acceptance rate.
