[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SLACs, even the best, are relatively easier admits compared to selective national universities. Personally, I agree that SLACs provide a great education, but I can understand why some consider them bastions of privilege for smart kids who couldn’t get into comparably good national universities. I understand that student preferences and fit are different for each student. I’m just saying that this is the “dig” that some parents would make to parents of SLAC admits. Essentially, they want to say that Harvard is better than Williams, any day. [/quote] Admit rates and test score ranges for the best SLACs are much higher and somewhat lower, respectively, compared to the best national universities. Thus, from an admissions prestige perspective, getting into Williams is like getting into a top 15-30 national university. [/quote]
