[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, I'm ignorant about Nashville. But Northfield? Middle of nowhere and COLD! The original question was, which schools are held back by their location. I'd argue that if any of those four schools were on the east or west coast, they'd be even harder to get into. Your opinion may differ. [/quote] As opposed to Middlebury? Bowdoin? Colgate, Hamilton, Colby? (Which Carleton is ranked higher than, FWIW)? Cold and in the middle of no where is pretty typical of highly selective LACs. [/quote] Related to this I was struck recently by the fact that location does not drag down Williams, compared with Amherst. I tended to think of them both as western Mass away from Boston but Amherst is hours closer than Williams and also on a daily Amtrak train line (the Vermonter) that connects it with the NYC and the mid-Atlantic. Really MUCH more convenient than Williams. [/quote]
