My alma mater has come a long way! Great to see its rise recognized. Even back in my day, the school was on a pretty evident upswing, academically. I started in 2002 in the College of Business, and the minimum ACT score to get in was 16. When I graduated in 2006, the minimum had risen significantly, to 22. While I don't think schools care much about college entrance exam scores anymore, the raising of educational standards was very much in motion back then and very evidently has continued in the 16 years I have graduated (damn, I feel old!).
