[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College of Wooster is just as good as Middlebury. Better calibre of people, too.[/quote]

Excellent. Care to support that?[/quote]

I think they offer different things to different people. And that’s not taking anything away from Middlebury nor am I agreeing with the assertion. I do wonder about PhD placement as I suspect Wooster may punch (significantly) above its weight class. And the truth is schools attract their own tribes. My DD would have went to Denison but refused to go to W&L after visiting and being admitted. There’s no doubt W&L is a fine school with a very high caliber cohort but that doesn’t mean it would have been the right environment for my DD.

And for the record my DD was waitlisted at Midd. Had she been accepted and the numbers worked I would have pushed hard for it as I think it’s an excellent school. I will say that if you look at their ED vs RD stats they remind of a Kenyon in terms of their (lack of) SES diversity (as in aka Club Midd) which I actually think is important. There’s a real world out there - nothing wrong with our kids experiencing it.[/quote]
