What is with this hyperbolic gushing over a tiny, remote school in the middle of nowhere? And again - “world class”? I mean, come on. |
So sorry your kid didn't get in. |
This school would never in a million years have been on my kid’s radar. |
The village idiot shows up without fail on every thread. ![]() ![]() |
No contest. Colby. But be aware it is dark and isolated. If you have a kid prone to depression, a small New England LAC is not the best option. |
This is a classic D1 at a fairly mediocre school vs D3 at a highly rated LAC. If finances are not an issue, there’s not much of a choice here - career options will be night and day. We had a similar choice and attending a NESCAC, playing sport has worked out very well for our DD. |
We know. |

Colby if you are or aspire to be UMC. JMU is LMC. |
GPA requirements are probably over a 2.0 after all |
Average Colby graduate salary >85k. Average JMU graduate salary - 65k. Multiple Wall Street firms recruit from Colby, none do at JMU Even if not just about starting salary - Colby law school acceptance rate 87%, Med School 68% - both miles above national average. Career wise, it’s not even in the same zipcode. A lot of people get caught up in “going D1” though. |
Where was this data retrieved? Were the salaries controlled for household wealth? |
I believe on both colleges websites |
Either you are pissed that you or your kids didn't get in or you've never visited. Either way stop pissing on something you know nothing about. |
You sound nice |
