There isn't just one person or even just a couple of people who think CTCL is stupid, and the people claiming as such are desperately delusional.

People been saving that 100s of schools are going to close since I was a student in the 90s. All of the schools are still open.

Uh except one "CTCL" (stupid name) has already gone under and doesn't exist anymore. Probably more to come.

Marlboro College

Marlboro college had a student population of 150. Not exactly typical.

But regardless, is the ‘failure rate’ of the CTCL schools higher than other schools which are not on the list?

Doubtful! https://www.highereddive.com/news/how-many-colleges-and-universities-have-closed-since-2016/539379/

Again, if your DC is top tier and full pay, why do you care?

DP. We can care about whatever we want. Why do you care that we care?

If a parent would just say "I have a great kid with a decent record who can't get into a top school and doesn't want a state school and we can afford it so we're sending her to an also-ran second tier private where she can likely graduate and which college you go to really doesn't matter anyway," I'd get it. It's when they say they're sending her to a "special" school or a "hidden gem" that's such "great fit" that my stomach churns. Because that tells me that they've fallen for CTCL's marketing gimmick.

I feel like You May have some serious issues if someone describing a college as a ‘hidden gem’ triggers you so much.

Did you get hit on the head by one of the old CTCL books?

But why does that matter to you? I get folks freaking about the vax disinformation wielded online and by politicians and TV commentators - there are deadly implications. But I don't understand why parents "falling" for a supposed branding campaign matters to you as no one seems to be harmed. Really, why does your stomach churn?

I don't care that you care, just wonder why you do care, especially as you see yourself as a "first tier" person and with "first tier" DCs.

DP. I just think it’s dumb and cloying when parents boast about a marketing gimmick in an attempt to make themselves feel special. There’s also a weird inherent underlying desire to prove that these so-called CTCL schools are better than your regular liberal arts college, so it’s a weird, poorly conceived arrogance and pretentiousness that rings false.

Also it’s embarrassing and cringey. The acronym CTCL is much more commonly known for being a type of cancer.

Whose DC is top tier and full pay? I think you’re responding to the wrong person.

Parents are not "boasting," nor are they trying to put down other LACs. I don't know where you are getting those ideas from. All I've seen are people trying to ask about the schools, and people providing feedback about their experiences with the schools, and then other people slamming those people and the organization for some weird reason.

So you get caught being wrong and start flailing. Embarrassing. Just admit you're wrong and move on from trying to make CTCL a thing.
