[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those 3 Pa schools don’t have cache with the DCUM crowd based on the middling rankings and locales - not seen as serious options for any of the DCUM private school kids with the hardscrabble blue collar / industrial feel of Easton and Bethlehem.  But these kids tend to be grittier than the soft prima donnas from Wesleyan or Bowdoin[/quote]

Oh brother. Yes the privileged  private/Catholic school kids from NJ and PA with lower scores and GPAs who wind up at Lafayette and Bucknell are definitely “grittier.” I guess this is just trolling but you’ve got to stop trying to make Lafayette happen. Or at least bring some creativity like the Bucknell pipeline to the street guy. I miss them. [/quote]

have to say you both have a point - Easton and Bethlehem aren’t terribly attractive towns, and Hamilton is a great comp for Lafayette and probably Tufts as a comp for Lehigh. But this is mostly full of 1300 3.7 type kids from tri state privates [/quote]

The only similarities between Lafayette and Hamilton kids is that they all can get into Lafayette. (Unless you’re talking about the January admits at Hamilton. More of a Lafayette caliber student.) Also, I’m a fan of Lehigh but Tufts is just objectively a much tougher admit. And while Bethlehem has its charms, I think it loses out to the Boston burbs. [/quote]
