[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is Middlebury's ranking so low? I would've thought it would be t10.[/quote]
With or without the military academies, which have no place on a SLAC list (and they are also larger than SLACs)?
Anyhow, big drop off after WASP and Bowdoin.
After that drop off, Middlebury is in the next tier of 10 schools, which I really would not distinguish from each other, prestige-wise: Carleton, Wellesley, Wesleyan, Barnard, Davidson, W&L, Vassar, Harvey Mudd, and Claremont McKenna.

I would probably include these in the next tier: Smith, Hamilton, Haverford, Colgate, Colby, Bates etc.[/quote]

Big drop off? Middlebury is better than Swarthmore and Pomona for finance outcomes, and Harvey Mudd is the best undergrad STEM school in the country. Claremont has some of the best all around outcomes, even better than WASP, and is ranked higher on the Forbes outcomes than all except Williams.

Just because you or someone you knew couldn’t get into these schools does not mean you should massively underrate them. Have a good day. [/quote]
Even students at Claremont acknowledge Pomona’s superiority. You are also arguing that there is no WASP.

Good luck with all that![/quote]

A handful of Claremont students having some opinion on Pomona proves nothing. There are even more students who consistently complain at Pomona’s government, economics, literature, history, and international relations departments, as these departments wane in comparison to CMC. And unlike you, the rankings actually support my argument.

In reality, both CMC and Pomona, and for the STEM crowd, Harvey Mudd, are seen as the top dogs of the Claremonts. Any difference between them is negligible.

As for WASP, well that’s just an arbitrary acronym.

SWAMP, anyone? M for McKenna or Middlebury, whichever you prefer. [/quote]

It is actually MAPS, there is no W. M is for Middlebury[/quote]

What a BS. Why so much boost for Middlebury? Its at 19th sharing the rank with others. Here its at 40:

These two rankings, in particular, tend to substantiate each other, in that Middlebury's U.S. News category ranking of #19 roughly doubles to #40 in the WalletHub site, in which colleges and universities are included together.

Where's Williams? Bowdoin?[/quote]
The site notes that, "Some institutions were excluded from our sample due to data limitations."
