We were ranked 489. Buffalo was around 120, Miami was around 312 and Toledo was above us around 400. No other Mac schools were listed and Marshall was absent from the list.

This article tells you how they ranked the schools. If its graduates financial success that is measured Buffalo is going to have a big advantage with many of its grads from the metropolitan NYC area where wages and opportunities are greater. Toledo has a relatively high percentage of graduates in professional programs. The study is basically saying don't go for liberal arts in rural college towns but go for professional programs in major metro areas.
