[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Higher education should allow freedom of speech, respect differing opinions, and encourage intellectual discourse presented from a variety of perspectives. Ultra-liberal, leftist schools are intolerant of opposing thought.[/quote]

And schools that fail to promote this type of environment will suffer in the marketplace.  How many non-LGBTQ males who get 1500 on their SATs would choose Vassar over all their other options?  Oberlin is way off the charts now, and Wesleyan has plunged as well.  Haverford has declined, now tied with Richmond (which has a conservative reputation).  Reed is nowhere to be found.  W&L is thriving.  Southern schools in general are thriving.  Who wants to go to school with a bunch of angry single minded activists who can't even have a conversation but can only call you names?[/quote]

Whoah you are so clearly in a suburban bubble. Vassar and oberlin are very popular with the boys in our Brooklyn crowd[/quote]

That is exactly my point.  They are ONLY popular with the Brooklyn crowd.

A quarter of Vassar comes from NY - so it's even a larger percentage of the domestic student population.  It basically just draws from 5 states where wokeness prevails.

Whatever. These are private school kids with all the professional connections that are so coveted on here. Send your kid to High Point instead![/quote]

I will concede that Vassar- as a NYC centric school like an NYU or Columbia- has an angle into NY finance. I know this personally. It may be its only redeeming feature. But it’s not the only school that does  [/quote]

DS liked Vassar quite a bit, including its proximity to home. If his GPA had been slightly higher, he would have gambled on applying, as he had a high ACT score and great ECs. Strangely enough, another classmate applied, coach told him he was in, then rejected in ED. Neither heads up from coach nor a follow up email.

The LAC coach saying you are in and then rejection thing - I heard that more than once this year.

I do wonder how difficult it is for a male to get into Vassar. Def has to be easier than female. [/quote]
