No, just facts...Bottom 10% academic ranking nationally

The average graduate salaries are only 60% of VT's kids. Acceptance rate is 99%......not exactly selective. Many corporate HR departments do not recognize an LU degree. No, not a bigot. But to conflate LU with the likes of reputable religion-backed schools like Notre Dame, Wake, SMU, etc. is a dis-service to them.
