[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vassar is a much more selective school than the other 3 you have listed... [/quote]

No, it's in the same selectivity range as Bates and Kenyon.[/quote]
Correct. Skid ore is a shade lower.

How does she feel about location? Kenyon and Bates are much more remote and in much smaller towns than the others.[/quote]

I’d say skidmore is an entire level below the other three.  We visited Bates and liked the campus and the town, whilst gritty, was actually a pleasant surprise both in terms of size and features.  If DC is planning on settling in the northeast I think there is a benefit from having graduated from a Nescac college as all of those grads will instantly recognize the value of the education.  I’m not sure I would say the same for Kenyon.  Vassar is a lovely school and its proximity to NYC is a plus. [/quote]

I went to a NESCAC school and so does my oldest child.  Kenyon is pretty well-known among New Englanders and NESCAC grads.    [/quote]
