[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on that chart in 2026 rankings coming out soon does anyone objectively feel Smith and Vassar are anywhere near top25. Wellesley yes Smith no. Would group Hamilton and Middlebury with Bates and Colby.  The Colby-Midd academic rivalry is on and Colby is on a roll. Agree their President has them in a great spot with near completion of $1 billion capital campaign and their athletic facilities are amazing. By contrast Midd has struggled. [/quote]

Let's talk about Colby. In the last 37 years of USNews rankings, Colby has been in the top 10 zero times. Its highest-ever rank was 11 in 2022. Last year it was at 25, as it was the year before. It's average ranking over this time period is 19.

Over the same time period, Middlebury has ranked in the top 10 thirty-one times, and in the top 5 thirteen times.

Even after years of playing games (free applications, not making public its CDS, etc.), Colby still is having trouble breaking the top 25.

It's a good school and is getting better, but there's no academic rivalry with Middlebury. Their academic rival is Bates. [/quote]
