[quote=Anonymous]One could compare LACs and universities in a number of ways. Which comparison you prefer depends on what you want to know. For example, you could compare based on admission rates. In that case the best LACs are similar to universities rated around 15-20. You could compare academic qualifications of the admitted class through test scores. There, the very top LACs are similar to the top 10 universities. You could compare academic intensity by looking at class size, whether or not a thesis is required for graduation, and the percentage of students who attend PhD programs. There, I think top LACs would be very competitive with the top universities. In fact, this is where they excel. You could compare professional outcomes by looking at admissions to the best medical, law, and business programs. Again, I think the top LACs would do well, but not as well as HYS because these schools have their own professional schools and they like to admit their own. In sum, a comparison between LACs and universities are not one dimensional. You should consider what matters most to your student and compare accordingly. [/quote]
