Who is WASP (Williams, Amherst, Swat, Pomona) for?

What are the distinct differences between the 4, and why do students chose these over ivies or other t20s sometimes?

Students who need more accountability, are less academically talented but more extracurricular talented, students who want tight knit communities, and students who want guidance throughout their education.

Williams:More reserved nerd-athletes (also more pretentious)
Amherst: Friendly and interested in taking as many different courses as possible
Swarthmore: Extremely invested in the workaholic olympics and neurotic
Pomona: Social and cares a lot about Diversity

Those who believe they will benefit from being taught in really small classes with professors. Those interested in graduate school or wanting a very academics-based environment.

those heading for law school (worked for me)

Safety schools for Ivy students. I don't understand the purpose of the liberal arts colleges, other than this purpose-ivy league rejects, who need a separate system to show off how intelligent they are, while signaling an embarrassing, crippling self-esteem issue.

Mine said no thank you to one of these due to high full pay numbers. These are great if you are aid eligible or wealthy, money pit for UMC.

Williams is the best of the bunch with the opportunities of Harvard. The rest have fewer resources and a lot less money imo.

All of these colleges are significantly less white and wealthy than many other t20s. Not really the vibe. Pomona had a recent class that is less than 25% white.

People who want to be held accountable and educated, inster of just getting a diploma mill stamp.

Endowment is an insurance policy. What's the annual budget?
