[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The US has over 5000 colleges. [/b] Can we spend 8 pages debating each one of them?  That way everyone on the forum has a chance to dredge up irrelevant past anecdotes and make up their own stories.[/quote]

There really are not too many LACs like Middlebury - maybe a few (Bates, Haverford, Colby, and a couple of others) so I don't think your point is all that persuasive. [/quote]

[b]There are many, stupid. Educate yourself[/b]. [/quote]

There are 5,000 colleges in the U.S but it is apples and oranges to compare these schools to an elite LAC. [/quote]

Do you honestly think their Physics or English course is elite, compared to another college’s same courses? You think the syllabus is more elite? The professor more elite?

No, they aren’t. The kids being from wealthy families is the only thing that makes it elite compared to other colleges.  Maybe their PR department is elite too [/quote]

Written like a fifth grader. Where did you go to college?[/quote]

PP, aren’t you the one typing dummy, stupid, and Mommy all over this thread?  :lol:  The post is fine, proves a point, and you just can’t come up with anything better than this comment?  [/quote]

Hey dummy. Thanks for writing. Middlebury is fantastic for many reasons but your skull is too thick and you’re too angry to grasp any of it. Sorry your kid didn’t get into Middlebury. Neither did mine. It’s an extremely difficult admit and that has much more to do with the quality of the applications than all your dopey rich person conspiracy nonsense. We were full pay and I suppose that makes us your imagined class warfare enemies (though I grew up poor so I’m not sure where that leaves us) and my son was a good student. 4.4, 1520, some good EC’s, visited campus, same stuff lots of kids who apply there have. And yet...denied. I’m over it and harbor no ill-will for Middlebury. Just so odd that you can’t do the same.

So go on. Google some more disconnected statistics and make some more unsubstantiated claims like “the only reason that makes it elite is...”, in that inimical style of yours, because that’s what you do.  Then go back and +1 yourself because you do that too. [/quote]
