[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband & I both went to ivies for college and law school. So have most of our friends. Our DD is at Brown and our DS is considering a LAC which is new for our family.

Which of the following LACs have the most global and national prestige?

Williams: seems like the best one overall in terms of rep

Williams, Amherst, Wesleyan: "little three"

Williams, Amherst: I see them referred to as Ivy lite?

Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Pomona: often grouped together as WASP?

Bowdoin, Middlebury: For my non-Ivy/Stanford friends, these seem like the net two highest in terms of prestige

Wesleyan: is this as prestigious as it used to be?

Carleton, Haverford: next most intellectually rigorous in terms of rep, but we prefer northeast to midwest

Williams & Amherst are the two LACs I'd consider the most well known and prestigious both nationally and in the UK.
Swarthmore, Pomona, Wellesley all strong academically too.
Haverford, Carleton, Bowdoin, Smith, Vassar, Wesleyan - roughly equivalent

That's it really.
