[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dickinson falls squarely into the "why" category, meaning why would you spend that much money for a private education as a second tier school.  Someone compared it to Colby, but it isn't Colby.  US News ranks Colby 15th among LACs and Dickinson 37th.  It's a far less prestigious school and has a reputation as a safety school for rich kids who can't get into the top 20.  [b]It's low yield (mid 20s) confirms that few student go there as their first choice college[/b].

No one will be impressed with a Dickinson degree.  William & Mary is a much better school although very hard for women to get into, even in state.

I'd send my kids to State U over Dickinson and save the money for grad school.     [/quote]

Although this year the incoming freshman class was oversubscribed by 50-75 kids so apparently more kids are picking it. And over 40% of the class is early decision so it is their first choice.[/quote]

The college itself is on record that it is too often viewed as a second choice.  This isn't just me talking.  Look it up.[/quote]
