No, no no and no.
Another school that has moved up in ranking very rapidly over the past few yrs in San Diego State. This school was just 4th tier for many years, on par with the likes of Houston or Memphis. Then in just the past few years in has passed St.Johns and many others.

On paper this is a great hire, but how could you give credit to the associate dean for all of that, and how long was she there that the acceptance rate dropped from 24 to 16%. Maybe our rate will drop from "do you have a high school diploma?" to "do you know your abc's?" Just kidding.
