Grateful Graduates Index

[ny_quant]

It’s a pretty simple formula that measures of the amount of private gifts given to a four year college over time, divided by the number of full time students it has. After all, private donations are typically an indicator of two things: how successful an alumnus is and how grateful he or she feels toward her alma mater.

I also ranked schools by median donations per student over the last decade rather than average donations ...

While our Grateful Grads Index contains most of the usual suspects of the best colleges lists – Caltech, MIT and Stanford top it — there are a few surprises, like tuition-free Berea College of Kentucky. (а также Bard, Claremont McKenna & Mills)

T.e. предлагаемая поправка (не знаю как её делать) не нарушит порядок, а просто увеличит разрыв между хорошими и плохими?

Да, скорее всего она просто увеличит разрыв, не меняя порядка. Ну и надо смотреть на размер выборки - если ответило всего 8 человек (реальный пример - школа где я работаю), т.е., то такие результаты я бы отбрасывал
