[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amherst 2027 class was technically 9%, not a big difference from 10% posted by OP but makes me question the data/source listed.[/quote]

It’s 10%. https://www.amherst.edu/news/news_releases/2023/september/a-snapshot-of-amherst-s-newest-students[/quote]
It was 9.7% (divide the numbers in the article)[/quote]

Yes, I think Amherst is more selective and better than Williams too (9.7% has Amherst jump Williams on the list)  :lol: 
For Eastern LACs, Swarthmore has been more attractive than both head to head for a long time though.[/quote]

I expect Swarthmore and Pomona to continue to regularly be the most attractive of the top LACs. Their locations are so much better than the NESCAC schools. Swarthmore has also done better than most top LACs with CS and eng and at Pomona you can take advanced classes at Harvey Mudd.[/quote]

Swarthmore is tiny and has a reputation as a pressure cooker. Kids there are intense and many are a bit quirky. Definitely not for everyone, but the perfect fit for kids who like UChicago but want a smaller school in the East.[/quote]
