[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know Emory is a good school, but is it really all that impressive? Its high ranking is more due to Coca Cola fortune and endowment than academics or academic reputation.

Middlebury is one of the best SLACs in the country. [/quote]
Emory is much better than Middlebury, a true shmuck would send their child to Miss if they also got into Emory.

With that said to answer OP's question the top 10 LAC's would be equal to the top 30 Unis. The times/wsj ranking combines both unis and lacs into the same ranking and Williams and Amherst are just outside the top 20. [/quote]

All that is wrong.  Though grads from both schools probably know how to spell "schmuck."[/quote]
It's not wrong there's  a reputable ranking that combine both unis and Williams and Amherst are right outside the top 20. Maybe 50 years ago Middlebury was better but today not a chance, most teens would choose Emory. [/quote]

I'd agree with this assessment -- the very top LACs are probably right around the T20 mark if we're trying to equate schools. But it's very hard because all of these institutions have very different missions, ethos, etc.[/quote]
