[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in NJ.  These schools all have the same reputation as above average regional colleges attracting wealthy students from suburban towns while being nothing special.  Lehigh unquestionably is in a different league recognition and reputation wise.

Bottom line is they are all fine and I absolutely would not pick any of them based on how well they're known.  They're not well known and it doesn't matter that they're not.[/quote]

Are you saying that Lehigh is better than the other 3?  If so, that’s the first time I’ve heard that. [/quote]

Np here, but yes, Lehigh is in a different tier than F&M, Dickinson, and Denison, and more than twice the size as well. [/quote]

If you are the NJ poster, I am surprised at your response.  Ime Lehigh, Lafayette and Bucknell are all thought of similarly in the NJ/NY area (with lots of cross-applications), although yes one can pinpoint differences among the 3 and that is why ultimately some kids prefer one to the others. Now that I live in DC, I have observed that down here people seem to think of Lehigh as a distinct animal. [/quote]

Having lived in both NYC and DMV, think Lehigh has broken away a bit from the other two with perception that admissions are more selective. DK if they yield admit protect to pump that rep.[/quote]
