Now spend some time going into the details as to the criteria used to arrive at their rankings. Really look into these facts before accepting this washed up magazine's opinion. We are talking 'academics'--the ability to train/teach people that which is necessary to become productive.successful citizens. How did they gauge the effectiveness of all these Colleges? I imagine they spent a lot of capitol on counting books in the library, endowment from the wealthy benefactors, and (maybe) how many foreign languages one may choose from. I am never impressed with such nonsensical rankings from a two bit publication that I (nor most folks I know) ever waste money purchasing. I DO have proof that the undergraduate education my son received was superb and well respected at those graduate schools to which he applied directly after getting his Bachelor's Degree. Among the school administrators and department heads with much good to say about his getting the degree from WVU were UVa, UNC, NCSU, Alabama and several others. WVU is not second or third or fourth rate as this publication is desirous of promoting (and you are wiling to propagate negatively!). My son graduated Phi Beta Kappa from WVU, maintained a 4.0 getting a Master's at UVA and an MBA at NC State. So please stow the negativism and gloating I detect in the note from you) and allow the successes of the alumni speak for the education quality available from WVU to those desiring to study and learn rather than party and brag about their immaturity.
I know. However, Many reading his remarks might mistake him for an intelligent being whose word MIGHT be meaningful. I take especial issue with reports and surveys (opinions) such as these rankings because they, truly, have little or nothing to do with the educational opportunity available at a given school.
while you have to take the rankings with a grain of salt, it is true that there are employers out there who make hiring decisions based on these rankings. It blows my mind that WVU isn't more selective with out of state students considering how much WVU has grown in the past 15 years. Would love to have that explained.
No Greg, be honest for once. This is a thread about how shitty WVU is. Really this is the unspoken theme to all your posts. This time you just came out and said it.
Did not expect you to read. I wrote it for intelligent readers with an attention span of more than 15 seconds. No 'Cliffs' needed for most on this board. They can read ad concentrate for decent lengths of time. Sad that your state does not allow for such luxury. SUGGESTION: if you have the skill, print it out and read one sentence eery hour until you have gotten through it all. Second choice would be to have somebody read it to you, VERY SLOWLY of course to allow better chance you might understand.
Eat shit pitt!
Why does Vernon let you stick around?
I realize you think you are so smart that no one knows you are a Pitt troll. We all know. Anybody that is as connected as you say you are, knows that the reason WVU is ranked low is admissions. It is the out going product that counts and is not measured. I was ask to team up with some other firms in Virginia for some VDOT work. Out of the 8 firms, 7 were started by WVU grads. Now keep in mind these firms were not owned by V-Tech grads despite graduating from a higher ranked school in their own back yard. You may call me a homer but I am doing damn good with your so called worst education.
It must be difficult to keep up with all your lies. Actually you have been unable to do it as witnessed by the above posts. WVU has always been ranked low due to their admission requirements mandated by the state. That is likely not going to change. However the finished product has always been good. Try to be honest with yourself Greg. It would be a step in the right direction.

Hard for you to deal with the truth, I see. Resort to the only defense children have--name calling. Proceed!
Need to work on your art. Looks like some in the
