That's why.[/quote]

SLACs are considered below top50 national universities [/quote]

Most combined rankings have at least 10 LACs represented in the top 50 colleges in the USA.

The top 5 LACs (Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Pomona, and Bowdoin) are as difficult to get into as a top 20 national university.

So what is this based off?[/quote]
Lol no way. SLACs are just another four years of high school. No seriously competitive students would even consider applying there. They purposely designed them differently from nationally universities -making it hard to directly compare - so that academically mediocre students can find their crushed confidence back. These students have no business with top national universities even if they try.[/quote]

An ignorant post. [/quote]

Indeed. We are seeing the self-selection in this very thread: there are those who do research and cite facts supporting LACs, and those that just keep pointing out universities are more popular. If it's more comfortable to follow the herd than think critically, LACs aren't the right place for you (hopefully your kid still has some say!). That said, there are good reasons to go to universities, they just aren't usually the ones people cite.[/quote]
