[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you do Amherst (full pay) vs Macalester (25K merit/year) for a high achieving kid (doing linear algebra and diff eqs in 12th grade) interested in math, econ, and languages? My niece is still deciding. Her parents would like her to choose Mac to save money for their second kid in the next few years but prestige and academic rigor do matter to her (and them, as they've instilled that in her) and she wants to go to Amherst to find her like-minded peer group.[/quote]

I'm not sure a kid like this will find what she needs at a LAC. Wouldn't she be better off at a place where the faculty is active in research?[/quote]

Excellent point.

Agree that the student is too advanced to be limited by an LAC environment. Definitely needs an R-1 National University.[/quote]
Too funny and dumb. Hope the kid is smarter.[/quote]

The kid is too smart to be limited by an LAC environment. National Universities offer a greater breadth and depth of courses because they have a greater number of students and because they have graduate programs which this gifted student needs.

Tired of the LAC hucksters who post rude comments when someone doesn't buy into their ridiculous arguments that LACs are the greatest at everything regardless of the facts and circumstances.[/quote]
