If I had to pick one I'd say that Sewanee (in terms of academics, reputation, quality of experience, and the generally high socioeconomic level of its student body) is probably the most significantly undervalued LAC from an admissions perspective.[/quote]

Give it another 10 years, and Sewanee (as Vanderbilt's liberal arts college Tennessee cousin) will be following Vanderbilt right up the rankings from a moderately selective regional school to a very competitive national one.  The demographic tide of wealthy Northerners moving South started by COVID has not ended. Unwelcomed by Northern schools now hell-bent on absurdly remaking themselves as engines of social justice, all the Ivy legacy, upper middle class, or merely wealthy kids from good families (who used to be the bread and butter of New England SLACs) will increasingly look South.

Sewanee is the best reputation time arbitrage in the SLAC game right now. I would say W&L first but the secret's already out on that one.  [/quote]
What’s the point of going to a liberal arts college if you’re conservative and don’t respect education? Just go to trade school.[/quote]
