[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of schools that people see as "second rate" have gotten much more competitive. Non-flagship state campus, for example, or lesser known liberal arts colleges. People who see NYU and GW as solely commuter schools don't realize that the reputations are far better than they were in the '80s and '90s and they now draw kids from all over the country. While it may be harder to go to Harvard, or for that matter Middlebury or Amherst, there are any number of schools that offer excellent educations in this country.[/quote] SLACs have low admit rates because they are small schools that have a reasonable level of interest - Middlebury, for example, had fewer than 9,000 applications which would be quite low for a National University. SLAC's tend to be niche schools that appeal to a comparatively small number of students.[/quote]
