[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a HACK grad, most of the top lacs tend to be like this. It's really about being in the right community/group of friends.[/quote]
What is this HACK I keep seeing?[/quote]

It's a made up acronym that popped up on the DCUM forum yesterday- Haverford, Amherst, Colby and Kenyon. Someone has decided they want to make "HACK" a thing, so they keep posting it in all the threads. It's not WASP, people. Sorry, Kenyon is a great little liberal arts school, but it's not really in the same league as Swat, let's be honest. [/quote]

I get WASP because they are consistently ranked together and attract similar applicants. And I can imagine other acroymyms, like GOCK (Grinnell, Oberlin, Carleton, Kenyon, the traditional Midwest LACs). Maybe even VCSS (Vassar, Connecticut College, Skidmore, Sarah Lawrence). Mind you, I don’t want these acronyms, but they would make sense to me. But why HACK? Why are these particular schools alike more than others.

You know, if Pipeline really wanted to shape the narrative around Bucknell, he would come up with his own acronym — BAWS, or MAWB, if he wanted to swap Midd for Swat. Come on, Pipeline. You’re slacking. [/quote]
