[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

The number of international applicants to these two is not much higher than others.  [/quote]

It is significantly higher.[/quote]
Exactly. Bowdoin cheats the admissions game, but these schools will do anything to pretend they’re elite.[/quote]

Wow. You clearly have a lot of angst towards Bowdoin. Still getting over being dinged? Or slow day on the cul de sac in rural nowheresville, admiring your degree from a Tier 3 school?[/quote]
You hold a lot of anger.[/quote]

Great response. Was "I know you are but what am I" taken?[/quote]
You’re still angry.[/quote]

You're still ugly[/quote]
I’m happy to not be as angry as you. This comment was unnecessary. [/quote]

I'm living rent free in your head.[/quote]
And that attitude is what makes you angry, which comes off ugly.[/quote]
