Different poster, but don’t be so obvious that you had to google “strawman.” |

I know what a strawman is, because I am not a middle schooler. But they clearly don’t, and just throw it out whenever they disagree with someone, because they’re apart of the logical fallacy=> automatically wrong, which is actually a fallacy in itself. You have to qualify the fallacies, otherwise you aren’t making an argument. Back to the reality, it’s been explained time and time again that lac students get into grad school, but not the best grad schools |

+1, people who scream a logical fallacy every 4 seconds on the internet just can’t structure a formal argument. |

Would you like to expand or are you allergic to discourse? It’s up to you whether this is a conversation or a complete waste of both of our time. |

You claiming you are intelligent and posting pseudo-intellectual mumbo jumbo (that is a technical term) is a fallacy. Having dinner next weekend with a friend who went to to a PAWS undergrad and MIT for grad school. I will tell them they do not exist. And I will do the same to the several Amherst, Williams and Swarthmore alums that I went to H/W/S b-school with (and those are just the ones in my specific class who I can think of off the top of my head). Not sure why some people are so obsessive about hating on other schools. It just showcases their ignorance but more importantly their misplaced angst. Sorry you didn't get in. Get over it. |

The anti-LAC posts are 95% nonsense, with zero data to back up their baseless assertions. |

Agreed. I just don't understand why some people are so passionate in their hatred of them. It is really weird. |

You claiming you are intelligent and posting pseudo-intellectual mumbo jumbo (that is a technical term) is a fallacy. No…I didn’t. You just made that up. I don’t believe knowing logical fallacies exist makes you an intelligent person. I guess you do. Having dinner next weekend with a friend who went to to a PAWS undergrad and MIT for grad school. I will tell them they do not exist. And I will do the same to the several Amherst, Williams and Swarthmore alums that I went to H/W/S b-school with (and those are just the ones in my specific class who I can think of off the top of my head). Great news! But also…that’s not an argument. Hope the dinner tastes great, but this has nothing to do with the conversation. Not sure why some people are so obsessive about hating on other schools. It just showcases their ignorance but more importantly their misplaced angst. Sorry you didn't get in. Get over it. You don’t know anything about me, so this is a bit more than a reach- it’s a complete shot and the dark and you’re missing. I have no hate for Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Pomona or any school. You made no arguments, again. I’d be disappointed, but this point solidifies in my mind that you just came to attack me. |

Pomona seems to prioritize California in admissions. https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/pomona-college/student-life/diversity/chart-geographic-breakdown.html |

Amherst doesn't reflect any one large regional percentage in the same way. Though its second highest percentage of students is from CA! https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/amherst-college/student-life/diversity/chart-geographic-breakdown.html |

Almost a 1/5 of the class from New York…shows a pretty large bias. |

Sure, but 18% is not 34%. |

I don't think bias is the right word here. Bias would indicate that they are very specifically trying to have a class full of NY kids. I highly doubt this is the case. |

Never said it was. 1/5 of the class from New York shows a pretty large bias. |
