"Colorado College's self-chosen comparison schools extend nationally, however:

Bates
Bowdoin 
Carleton 
Colby
Colgate
Holy Cross
Davidson 
Hamilton 
Kenyon 
Lafayette 
Macalester 
Middlebury 
Pitzer
Wesleyan 
Whitman"

That's right of course but that's not the same thing. In other words, CC says that it compares against that list -- CC offers a small school experience, outdoor fun, a safe campus, etc., just like many of the schools on the list -- but in real life, it isn't yielding students against most of those schools. Whitman, Pitzer, sure. They are closer geographically and in-line with selectivity.  Hamilton? Wesleyan? Colby? Bates? Middlebury? Those schools aren't crossing with CC.  Not because CC isn't great -- I'm sure it is -- but on a relative basis, students aren't struggling to choose between CC and let's say Bowdoin. They may apply to CC, and there's a lot to like about CC, but CC isn't going to be dealing with a lot of kids who were accepted to Bowdoin but who then yield to CC. You can't compare that way when it comes to yielding students and things like tuition discounting.
