	Source? There are at least 5 colleges in states that have less than 5 listed. And Princeton Review is not definitive. Plus, link to an actual page.

	Be consistent. "Alabama" gets you University of Alabama, "Arizona" gets you University of Arizona, etc., but "North Carolina" does not get you University of North Carolina. Fix your entry for Gonzaga ("Gonzaga Universitygonzaga"). Accept "Loyola" for Loyola University New Orleans. Accept "St. John" for St. John's College. "Brigham Young" didn't work, but "BYU" did. Etc.

	Poor Alaska - not even a state anymore.

	Wesleyan is definitely more selective than any other college in CT other than Yale

	jak228:	May 28th, 2010 at 22:26 GMT	2 points
	Cornell gets you Cornell College in Iowa, but somehow Cornell University isn't even listed at all under New York... might want to fix that.

	midwesterndiva:	May 28th, 2010 at 22:39 GMT	1 point
	I second all the above comments, plus more time is needed.

	spartaneric:	May 29th, 2010 at 04:20 GMT	1 point
	I have a very hard time believing that Claremont McKenna College or Pomona College have a higher admissions rating than UCLA, and that can be said for many other schools. Also, what does "admissions rating" even mean?

	derekfleck:	May 29th, 2010 at 04:41 GMT	1 point
	I have based the "admissions rating" on the score given by the Princeton Review on how selective the school is. Basically, this attempts to measure how hard it is to gain admission at the school. The ratings come from a book that contain the 361 best schools, so some states do not necessarily have five schools. Cornell isn't listed because its selectivity rating is 97.

	johnlk:	May 29th, 2010 at 22:29 GMT	1 point
	Why is "University of California" only one school?

	johnlk:	May 29th, 2010 at 22:30 GMT	1 point
	The absence of Wesleyan is indeed puzzling.

	what an awful game

	Arizona comes before Arkansas alphabetically

	istalkblink182:	Nov 15th, 2010 at 02:33 GMT	1 point
	accept abbreviations. dont force people to spell out "state"

	Geo_Crazy:	Jan 28th, 2011 at 00:04 GMT	1 point
	Hopefully this is a draft. And that the source is too subjective to be correct.
