[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wesleyan should be in the top 10. It used to be and dropped down a bit when they changed their algorithm and because endowment not as massive as some other schools, but intellectually it's right up there with the the top schools. Just a hair below Amherst, Williams, and Swarthmore, and definitely above Carleton, Vassar, Davidson, Colby, etc.

Oberlin, too, is underrated. Should be in top 25 at least. [/quote]
Why does it deserve to be ranked higher for poor endowment performance, especially compared to WASP?[/quote]

I did say it's a hair below WASP. But if ranking is primarily meant to indicate quality of education and student body, Wesleyan delivers on these better than many of the schools it ranks alongside. Not top 5, I concede, but should be top 10. Of course, all of this is subjective, and this is just my opinion (based on firsthand and secondhand experience with quite a few SLACs).[/quote]
Can you actually back up this statement? What does Wesleyan deliver academically that’s light years ahead of Vassar, W&L, Smith, Barnard, Hamilton, Grinnell, Davidson or Middlebury, which are the schools keeping it from top 10.[/quote]
