[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d say Claremont McKenna is significantly more prestigious than Washington and Lee.  Plus, it doesn’t have a name that is cringe inducing.[/quote]

Why do you say that? US News puts one as #8 and the other as #10 among LACs.[/quote]

Because in 2018, seeking a school that is as undiverse (white) as W&L sends a signal. Not a great one. My white kid would never consider it even if it were ranked number 1 by USNews. [/quote]

Unlike your own virtue signalling in your post? I suspect most white kids and white parents aren't going to agonize over whether a school is  only X% minority versus Y% minority. [/quote]

DP.  Maybe not, but given where things are in the country and our increased awareness of such matters, having the name Lee there isn’t a  plus.[/quote]

Shrugs. Likewise I don't think most care either. W&L is doing just fine and dandy. And I say this as someone with absolutely no affiliation with W&L and went to one of the most liberal colleges in the US. [/quote]
