For those who are curious about the company, here is their website: https://www.courserank.com/ Of perhaps greater interest is the list of schools that appear to have complied with providing grades: https://www.courserank.com/schools.php I don't see Harvard, Columbia U or Princeton but Yale, Dartmouth, and Stanford are on the list. I assume it is just a matter of time before all colleges comply. Yet, one might have some concerns about the accuracy of the information that is presented on the site. As far as I tell, it is only available to students. One might ask a trusted student to check it out. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
