[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wellesley consistently ranks in the top 5 among the US News LAC rankings but I hear about it for less than the others.

It seems like a great school- urban location, access to MIT/Olin/Babson, tons of opportunites, great alumnae network. I understand that being a women's college means less interest but it still receives roughly 75% of the applications of similarly ranked coed school.

OP, as you can see, DCUM tends to rely on rankings to educate themselves about colleges.  DCUM would therefore not possibly know about the great colleges.  [b]There are tons of great colleges consistently left off of the rankings,[/b] and therefor not mentioned on DCUM.

I do sometimes read the related posts, to see if anyone knowledgeable chimes in, but it never happens. Sometimes parents mention to each other the schools their kids are interested in, and that only causes those same students to apply to the same colleges, which is why I happen to feel it is so important not to share that part of the application process.

I say this since most times, there is at least one college that the other parent would have never considered, and did not know about, IME.  [/quote]

Please enlighten us as to these great colleges. TIA[/quote]
