[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because a school rises in popularity does not mean that it has become a "better" school.  Bowdoin has been a good school for a long time and has attracted smart and engaged students.  But what has changed is that it has become more popular and is getting more applications and thus is more selective. And, of course, DCUM assumes selectivity makes it a better school.  As the Ivies and Williams/Amherst/Swarthmore have become more difficult to get into, more kids have started looking at the other strong SLACs.  A family member had a great experience at Bowdoin as a recruited athlete (and fully acknowledges that he would have not gotten in without the athlete hook).  We visited at all three Maine SLACs more than once and felt that they are all far more alike than different.  DCUM really needs to get over this ranking business.  [/quote]

We are over it.  It is the same 5 posters that go on and on and on and on about it.[/quote]

+ Someone's kid is going to Bowdoin and needs reassurance. Yawn.[/quote]
