Oops. :-) In all seriousness that's a very credible issue that has lacked any kind of logical standardization for as long as I can remember. I can vividly remember scratching my head at Grinnell's ranking even when I was a fresh-out-of-HS-Iowa-grad - and I don't want to tell you how many years ago that was nor how little has changed since then. Here's to hoping that we can implement something like this across the pond in a few years to come.
