Welcome to the Massachusetts Institute of Technicalities
Got a smug MIT grad in your engineering department? Here's a chance to gloat. MIT dropped from fourth to seventh place this year in US News & World Report's college ranking guide. Why? Not because the class of 2010 is dragging the rest of the school down, though class of '10 member Star Simpson's recent Logan airport bomb hoax might imply that. Turns out that MIT has been fudging their numbers for the last few years, by neglecting to include SAT scores from non-English speaking students and kids who scored higher on the ACT test, in violation of USN&WR rules. Oops. Of course, all of this happened during the reign of Marilee Jones, the admission head who doctored her own resume. That MIT degree gets more and more valuable everyday, doesn't it?
