[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HC is a top 25 LAC check the US News rankings from the early 1980s. Among Catholics schools only Georgetown and ND can make the same claim. Nice try but BC and Villanova are former comuter or regional schools. And to compare HC to Fordham and Fairfield is like comparing Middlebury to Plymouth State or Castleton University. HC is an archrival of Colgate in both sports and academics very close to Colby in ratings and slightly better than Bucknell. There current grads have achieved remarkable success Fauci, Clarence Thomas, US Senators, Nobel Prize winners and numerous CEO’s. They after the premier athletic school among LACs- future football games with Northwestern, Army, Navy etc. Its alumni giving rate is perennial top 10 among National U and SLACs. Its weakness is that it’s not a magnet for lapsed Unitarians and Congregationalists that apply to Colby, Midd, or Hamilton. But the welcome mat is out for all faiths or no faiths.[/quote]

My kid is considering applying to HC.  It seems like a nice school.  But it's a safety for Colgate and BC.  According to his NJ HS Naviance, his stats are higher than anyone who has ever applied to HC from his school over the past 15 years (about 40 kids) and will presumably get in (many with lower stats have).  He has about a 50/50 shot at getting into Colgate and BC with his GPA and 1500 SAT according, again, to his Naviance.  [/quote]
