[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol... Williams was NEVER on the level of a truly elite university, and the value/general lay prestige of LACs has only decreased over time.

And if we're comparing it with its peer group, Amherst seems to be more well-known.[/quote]

Hard disagree. I am head of HR at a large financial institution, and every year we recruit  at the SLACs’ + Women’s LACs’ campuses, in addition to the Ivies & MIT.  In contrast, we never go to state flagship campuses or universities south of Philly. Which isn’t to say we don’t recruit undergraduates from there, it just isn’t a focus for my firm, so these kids have to be motivated and creative and figure out a way to come to us for interviews.

Separately, NYC is about to elect a 33-year old Bowdoin grad for mayor who is very smart (even though I am in disagreement with all of his proposals).

WASP grad in the deep South. It really is geography/social bubble/profession specific. More Ivy/NESCAC grads in medicine/academia down here. Financial institutions favor Duke, Emory, GA Tech, UVA. [/quote]
