No. Harvard is also Tier 1.

I think Olive Garden might have swayed US News in our favor.

Title: Re: #132!
Post by: Rage Against the McKee on January 25, 2011, 04:58:24 PM: Maybe K-State has been sending people to high schools across the state to have meetings with groups of retards, telling them to apply to K-State because we take everyone. They can't get in, and we get to show US News our elite 55% acceptance rate. Or maybe Kirk Shulz just lied his ass off to US News.

Just plucked a number. You are prob closer than I am.

Tier II is comfy. Kinda like playing with a chip on your shoulder. You get used to it. Warm blanket, and stuff.

That could only have happened once, they must have sent that number out to everyone at once. Either that or whoever is sending those numbers in needs to be canned.

Post by: sonofdaxjones on January 26, 2011, 04:32:45 PM: Other schools actually hire marketing and PR firms to help them increase their U.S. News rankings, so I am all for a "type-o" on the admissions percentages. Albeit, as a watcher of these rankings for years, this is not the first time K-State has had such a low % for admissions.
