Sophomore Andrew Pazdon, a Hatchet columnist, looks at the specific ways rankings don’t apply to GW.

I’ll be honest with the world – GW was not my first choice in institutions of higher learning. It was my childhood dream to attend a school that was ranked 50th or better on the U.S. News and World Report’s rankings. Being the 53rd ranked school is a depressing fate. If the success of graduates depends on the rankings of their school, then students of the Universities of Rochester and Wisconsin have much brighter futures than GW Colonials.

Obviously, I jest. The point here is that the rankings found in a magazine can be skewed.
