ODUs rankings are a bit embarrassing, but as a person pretty familiar with the ranking process I will say they are ridiculously inaccurate in indicating where to get a good education. They do tell you who has the highest incoming SAT scores, 4 year graduation rates, selectivity, alumni giving percentages, full time faculty, student/faculty ratio and peer perception. For now, I think ODUs short term goals need to be to stay in the USNWR tier one rankings and try to get Carnegie tier one research classification. It’s no coincidence GMU and VCU climbed after F4 runs. That brought an influx of applications, and name recognition. Both of which have little to do with academic quality, but much to do with rankings.
