[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On a CTCL tour in Washington state, which is home to Whitman and Puget Sound, we met people who said they turned down Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, U Washington, and several other private colleges and universities in the middle of the country that are very selective.  Those colleges don't seem to draw as much from the East as I would have expected, given how nice they are.  We didn't visit Reed in Oregon, which is itself a selective CTCL.  I'm pretty sure a lot of people choose Reed over Ivies.  At the same time, many people choose other liberal arts colleges in Washington and Oregon over Reed.

Fit matters to some people more than others.[/quote]

Agree. I feel bad for the people here who are so tied to rankings and name that they limit themselves. I don't feel bad for the rude people who insist others are lying about choosing a CTCL or similar school over a better known institution. I don't know where the strange attitude comes from, but it strikes me as both defensive and bitter. But, why? That I'm not sure.

Now, I'm not blind. Some people don't have a lot of choice and they end up at the college that takes them. But this happens at many colleges aside from CTCL. [/quote]
