[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing I noted about Colgate when we were looking for DD#1 is that 46% of students come from private schools.

It was a stat that surprised me and turned of my daughter. I have since noticed that almost no other school reports this figure so I dont know if this is typical of top SLACs (Yes I know Colgate is D1 and technically a University but they had literally 11 grad students in the most recent year so I put them w/ undergraduate-focused colleges).[/quote]

Notre Dame and Washington & Lee also report their private school students enrolling.  The percentages are similar.[/quote]

That’s a bummer. I’d rather DC go to a school with more down to earth kids, not the overly entitled rich kids.[/quote]

Every year our private sent kids to Colgate.

A lot of the kids were from middle class & above, grounded & not spoilt.

Only problem the kids were like competitive on steroids.

The joy of learning was overshadowed by many  trying to outdo each other to have the best resume for college.[/quote]
