[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of a current analysis, this site placed Bowdoin fifth among LACs by selectivity, after Barnard, Swarthmore, Pomona and Williams:

College & University Rankings in 2026 https://wallethub.com/edu/e/college-rankings/40750[/quote]

Wallethub rankings aren’t very good.

If not fifth, where do you think Bowdoin should place by selectivity among LACs?[/quote]

Bowdoin and Amherst have artificially low acceptance rates because they advertise themselves as need blind for international applicants. Bowdoin is very selective. There is no significant difference in selectivity for any of the top 10 or so SLACs and Bowdoin is in that group.[/quote] They don't just "advertise" themselves as such. 90% of Amherst international students are on aid, with an average grant in the high 70 thousands (from what I remember)[/quote]

Bowdoin accepts 1.4% of international applicants, they may call themselves need blind but they cap acceptances hard. [/quote]
