Since the new administration decided to start gaming the rankings. Admissions rate now stands at 8.8%, down from mid-forties when I was admitted only eight years ago. Part of that was from switching to the Common App, part of it was riding the coattails of Obama. It is a great school. But until recently, rankings weren't really something that the administration paid much attention to.
