[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone surprised by Denison’s rise? Ohio liberal arts schools used to be Oberlin, Kenyon, Denison, Wooster in that order. Now it seems better than Oberlin, and equal to Kenyon, if not better in a certain way. Its acceptance rate has gone down a lot while many schools ranked around 40 seem to be plateauing. Formally easy acceptance at our school, now there are rejections. [b]What are they doing right compared to other LACs [/b]that are good but not “elite”. Also not a booster, visited once and personally found it too preppy. But clearly they’re doing something right.[/quote]

My guesses: Michael Eisner money and more pre-professional vibe in their marketing (though not really anything different in their offerings).  They also game ratings a bit.  But a solid LAC and the history of people on the East coast going to Ohio schools has benefitted them and they are located in the biggest town/nearer to a city compared to the other Ohio LACs so they attract the kids who want an LAC but don't want the rural environment.
