[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bowdoin’s working peer group is the very top of the LAC category:

Carleton is an interesting choice for this "peer" group.[/quote]

Those 6 are also consistently top 10 USNWR LACs while the others OP asked about are not.[/quote]

Oh, really? Since 2000, Carleton has ranked higher than Middlebury in USNews eight times. They've tied six times. Middlebury has ranked higher than Carleton 12 times. [/quote]

The statement you are trying to refute is factually correct. None of the six colleges have been outside of the top 10 since 2000. Middlebury has, including each of the last three years.  Middlebury is a great school but you are trying to pick a fight needlessly by challenging statements that are in fact true. [/quote]

This is the statement that the PP made: "Those 6 are also consistently top 10 USNWR LACs while the others OP asked about are not."

With the exception of the past three years, Middlebury has consistently been in the top 10 (and even top 5). It fell when the rankings started focusing more on social mobility. In 2023 and 2024, it was ranked 11. Last year, 19.  [/quote]
