[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also liked Wooster. [/quote]

Anyone know why Wooster's graduation rate is so low? It is consistently below 75%. Most second-tier SLACs that attract similarly qualified students (e.g., Sewanee, Furman, Rhodes, Centre) hover around 80%. Are kids leaving because they don't like the campus or the culture, or is the school not doing enough to support kids who might be struggling (which I thought was the entire draw of a CTCL school)?[/quote]

Many CTCL schools have questionable graduation rates.  It's because they attract less than stellar/motivated students in the first place.[/quote]

Rhodes and Centre are CTCL schools and have higher graduation rates than Wooster. Sewanee and Furman aren't CTCL schools but might as well be as they are very similar to the first two. The CTCL schools with low graduation rates tend to also have low incoming student stats, but that isn't really the case with Wooster. So there must be something else going on.[/quote]
