A college's reputation shapes its short-term enrollment fortunes in measurable ways, according to a new study.
Where a selective college stands in annual rankings compiled by Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report affects the number of applications it receives as well as the competitiveness and geographic diversity of its freshman class. That's one finding in a report published this month in Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, a journal of the American Educational Research Association.
