[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, those saying Colby is an "over-rated school", that is BS, it is as relatively fine as any in the Nescac.  It has an excellent faculty as all Nescacs do, and a top record of professional and grad school success.

Second, acceptance rate is not included in the USN rankings, so this has nothing to do with Colby "gaming" anything.

Third, and most importantly, a top college decides to make an expensive and difficult process a little cheaper and easier on you and your kids, and you are effing complaining about it.

Unbelievable.  You people are unbelievable. [/quote]

What’s unbelievable is that they made the application process easier just cuz they are so damn thoughtful.[/quote]

According to you it is because they are evil nefarious lizard-people laughing wildly while rubbing their hands together as the applications pour in.  Like this:

SCENE: A dungeon/laboratory deep below Colby's lovely athletic facility.  The ADMISSIONS DIRECTOR and her ASSISTANT are in  dark corner crowded around a single computer screen.

"Ha ha ha ha!" said the Colby director of admissions,  "They FELL for it!  We made it so all they had to do was click us and THEY DID!  THE FOOLS!  What they don't know is that we are going to READ AND CONSIDER THEIR APPLICATION! "

"Yes master" said the assistant director of admissions.  "They have fallen for your genius evil plan.  Soon we will be one of the most respected LAC's in the country and a member of NESCAC".

"YES!  And our acceptance rate will drop and then our US News ranking is sure to shoot TO THE MOON!"

"Uhhh.... master, sorry to tell you" the assistant responded.  US News has not used acceptance rate in the rankings for years".

"KHAAAANNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!" cried the admissions director in agony
