[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my kiddo had the same choice - there are a number of sports that recruit from the same pool of kids, and the level of play is very similar.  I wouldn’t say that the Williams wrestling team could compete with Bucknell, but i believe their x country team could most years.

If the choice is Williams or Bowdoin, go there - other than that it’s a coin flip[/quote]

You were pretty good until your last sentence. Overall both groups are great schools; the top of the NESCAC is considered stronger than the top of the Patriot league but there isn’t a bad school in the bunch.

There is no objective difference between Amherst, Bowdoin, Middlebury, and Williams with Hamilton and Wesleyan more similar than different as well. Colgate and BU are similarly selective and Holy Cross only slightly less selective.

Go where you feel the best fit though if you are a recruited athletes the NESCAC schools provide high level athletics within a more typical college experience.[/quote]
