[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 high profile Wall St alums and couple thousand foreign language teachers grads. Never will be confused with Williams.[/quote]

Don't kid yourself. [b]Williams is special in the same way that another 12-15 tops SLACs are special.[/b] It is no better than any of them and no worse than any of them. All of them are as good or better than any school (Ivy's included) for undergraduate education.

[b]The differences in rankings are driven by endowment size and herd instinct for the peer assessment which is why the idea that any of these schools can be granularly ranked is just flat out dumb.[/b][/quote]
I'd say that those who do make dramatic distinctions from within this group — such as, as examples, "this college will never be that college" and "buy this school, sell that one" — appear to lack an interest in academics and intellectual pursuits. And, personally, I'd say that the LACs that might be regarded as special aren't necessarily those that place the highest in the rankings.
