85-90% of the rankings are determined by academic quality, employment reports and other important factors

They're not going to screw up the cohort in order to have better GMAT averages

You can't get a good Rank just by having a good gmat average (15% weight) and screwing up every thing else (85% weight)

How does that make sense?
