"S" is for selective. Drop down from Middlebury to Kalamazoo. Drop from Bowdoin to Wheaton. That kind of thing.

Aside: Some folks also use the term SLAC where "S" merely means "Small" and not necessarily "selective". It can be confusing.

I wonder if it’s a regional thing. I grew up in the northeast and SLAC always meant small liberal arts college. It was more about an ethos than it was about selectivity

It is supposed to be small, not selective. Not sure who started selective but I always read it as small.

“Small” is going to be redundant for just about any liberal arts college at this point.
