More context? Why?

Everything has gone down the drain there. Experience has been terrible. Administration terrible. Money is becoming a problem…..soon these schools will go away.

Keep on cooking Karen!

Middlebury has slipped a lot and its endowment of 1.6 billion is couch money compared to Amhert and Williams both north of 3.5 billion.

Above a certain amount, does it really have a big impact on the experience? Amherst's campus is run down. Buildings in disrepair. Good aid, I guess?

It's settled. Colby is the most selective LAC!

Interesting. At our school Middlebury is the harder admit among Williams, Amherst, and Middlebury. Williams and Amherst get more applications but Middlebury is the toughest admit. All are with a point or two and well above the averages so there are some athletes in the mix. Colby is a much easier admit and for some reason almost nobody applies top Bowdoin.

Colby is a much, much easier admit than any of the others listed here (except Bates, which is similar). If you're academically credible, full pay, and you visit, you're basically in.

Yup, but Colby is perceived to be hard to get into since so many kids apply due to lack of application fee. But the truth is that full pay kids have a very easy time getting in. I know of several.

Lol at the premise of this whole thread.

But, you know, out of my son's entire high school friend group the only rising juniors who don't have internships this summer are the pot head gym rat and the Middlebury student...

One doesn’t want to work and maybe the other doesn’t have too? Hard to generalize based on a student or two.

NP. You understand that this isn’t what a Karen is, right? Just checking because you seem confused.
