Gettysburg's acceptance rate was 48% this year.

So, a 63rd ranked will always be treated like a safety

You are behaving like a jerk. What you mean is “The only people worth caring about are people who go to highly rejective schools. Gettysburg is a safety for kids who hope to get into Harvard.” I hope you don’t also mean “F the rest of the losers - they can lick my boots for a living” but that’s what it sounds like you believe.

In what world is #63 out of thousands a backup for better things? Sure, if your choice is #1, #63 is a disappointment. But that is on you, not inherent to #63.

You mean highly selective. And its 63 out of 211, not thousands. No wonder why Gettysburg is #1 for you.

Agree, St Olaf is a better safety than Gettysburg

Jerk of the day award. We visited Gettysburg though DC is going elsewhere. I thought it had a nice campus, had good course offering and they seemed to care about the students. Great merit. WTAF is wrong with you people.

+1 to Gettysburg! Tour guide we had was really delightful. Kids seemed normal. Beautiful campus. I was impressed even if Mr Princeton above pi**es on it.

much better options for the money, even considering sizable merit - Dickinson for instance punches waay above its weight, and F&M is a notch or two above from a prestige perspective. Gburg is fine as a safety behind these other two I guess

What's a List Down?

Hey folks zeroing in on “list down,” consider that you might be speaking with someone for whom English is a third or fourth language, and reflect on how well you’d fare having this conversation in another language.

DP. No, they meant highly rejective. It's a common colloquial label in college admissions. You just seem to be unfamiliar. Of course that doesn't stop you from trying to correct someone out of your own ignorance. Hubris, anyone?

Not to mention, it wasn’t hard to understand what OP was saying and most people got the assignment! What’s the purpose of calling out one errant word for no good reason?

Be careful, your kid might end up at Starbucks making coffee for those bros and brahs on their way to their jobs on The Street.
