Some people would describe this equation as confusing, ugly, or completely made up. Those people might be correct, but here is a breakdown of how we get a school's Final rating:
For each category, we take a school's score and divide it by the best score in the given category. This only works when the best score is the highest number (e.g. a bigger Stadium Capacity is better). When the best score is the lowest number (e.g. having fewer Male Vocal Groups is better), we just take the inverse. After that, we average these category ratings together and end up with a school's raw score, which we normalize onto a 100 point scale. Get it?
This is the number that determines how much action you're likely to get at school. Say it's 60%. That means if there are 10 people, 4 of them will be dudes and 6 of them will be chicks. And on top of it, if you go to a liberal arts school you can bet at least one of those four is too busy working on his film to talk to girls, which means there's no reason why you shouldn't be knee-deep in sin.
Statistics show that the hotness (i.e. sluttiness) of girls is inversely proportional to the score received on the SATs. The higher the SAT score, the uglier the girls get. If she got a 1600 you better believe she's a dog. So don't get too down if your scores weren't as high as you hoped, you get to spend the next 4 years in paradise.
This one's pretty simple. The more pics you upload to CH the better. There's nothing that makes a school better than its student body. The more embarrassing pictures we have of that student body, the better.
The number of fraternities and sororities on campus is closely related to how crazy the parties are. Having said that, academic or Christian fraternities, though technically considered "Greek", really have no place in this statistic.
The later your bar closes, the better your chances are of (legally) sedating that cute blonde who's way out of your league. And by sedating we mean wooing her with your eloquent words.
Your school can't be that great if everyone's trying to get out. If your retention rate is low, get the hell outta there.
Commuters are like townies. You never see them around campus but they always show up to parties and drink your beer. They're not really part of the whole school vibe. Show them no respect.
Bigger stadium equals bigger sports scene equals awesome sports events equals more parties and tail-gating. It may sound cheesy, but school pride is where it's at.
When it starts getting colder, girls will inevitably enter their "comfortably fat hoodie" stage. This means staying inside instead of going out, while chowing down on Cool Ranch Doritos with the girls. It's bad news for you when they just want to "stay comfy" and "pig out".
Possibly one of the most important statistics we offer for the Power Rankings. Your school's proximity to this delectably cheap fast food paradise is of utmost importance for late Friday nights, wee hours of Saturday mornings. Crunch Wrap Supremskis here we come!
When you're looking for something to make your chump high school friends jealous of how awesome your school is the first thing you should tell them is how many girls you hooked up with. The second thing you should brag about is what bands or artists came to your school. The higher they rank on the billboard list, the higher your ranking.
The more the better! We get a ton of Cute College Girl submissions with only a select 3 each week. If some cutie from your school made the cut you better believe your school will jump up in the Power Rankings. Though having a Cute College Girl at your school doesn't necessarily mean she'll come to your Halloween party.
