underrated - Haverford, Macalester and Wesleyan[/quote]

Agree and would add Carleton.[/quote]

Carleton has been the underrated but great SLAC at least since I was looking 20 years ago. I think that it's reached the point where so many people consider it underrated that it may actually be overrated [/quote]

#6 isn't really underrated territory.  I would personally slide Midd over it.[/quote]

Why? [/quote]

Comparably strong academic profile. More resources. Alumni network probably much more robust. Carleton is kind of a goofy little school in the middle of nowhere and far from centers of influence. Kind of like a Haverford or Swarthmore but removed from the eastern seaboard. Name recognition kind of light. Don’t get me wrong- I’m sure it’s filled with brilliant intellectual kids and great profs but so is Midd at this point, more so than in the past. I’ve met many Midd grads- never met a Carleton grad but my world is more east coast corporate. But that is kind of the point. [/quote]

So it's not east coast corporate? Sign me up.[/quote]

I feel like a truly top school should be able to launch kids in whatever direction they want to go- Wall St, academia, creative arts, medicine, etc [/quote]
