[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who are impressed with places like Wooster and Lawrence and Muhlenberg do not have experience with top 10-15 LACs.  They are fine schools but they just do not provide the same experience.  [/quote]

DH and I both top 15 LACs, older kid currently at a top 15 LAC, we spent 14 years living a mile from a top 15 LAC…and we were plenty impressed with Wooster. Lawrence is next on the list to visit. [/quote]

DH and I both went to top 15 LACs and our child is currently at a different top 15 LAC.  When we were looking at schools, we toured both Wooster and Lawrence.  We were not impressed. There was not the same focus on academics as at the top schools.  The admissions office was disorganized.  We liked Appleton though.  Our child thought Wooster was too heavy-handed with the sales job which turned him off.  Of the more likely schools, St Olaf was our favorite.  [/quote]

Wooster has good STEM PhD placements, so guessing there is some academic focus at the school....[/quote]

Very possible. [/quote]
