[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't have any beef with SLACs and I agree that the top ones are excellent.

But the insistence that there is widespread name recognition and understanding of their rankings is just, incorrect.

It's a small club. And of course, those in or adjacent to the club know the handshake, but [b]the vast majority of the world does not care.[/b] [/quote]
This is true. But there is a portion of the DCUM population that does care and is annoyed that they were never taught the handshake. To placate themselves, they insist that the club is overrated harumph![/quote]

Not every diss on SLAC is sour grapes. [/quote]

+1. I think SLACs are great for the right kind of student but the DCUM insistence that they are the best at everything and have no shortcomings is just disingenuous.

They are small. People haven’t heard of them. It’s fine. It doesn’t really matter.[/quote]
Not sure how you have this perception. Most DCUM lac forums spend half the time with parents urging the op reconsider and instead go to a university, trashing the college, and then somehow bringing up athletics and how boys will never relate to the rest of their class, and Yadayada. Being [b]a lac [/b]parent is so tiring here.[/quote]

I’m a SLAC grad and find the animosity amusing. My classmates and I are doing just fine in life. I have one DC at Swat and the other will likely end up at a NESCAC school or similar. I don’t have any reservations about their choices. [/quote]

Did you really edit the text you quoted to change "an lac" to "a lac" ???

But kept "yadayada" as one word??? [/quote]

I didn’t edit anything. Perhaps someone else before me did. [/quote]
