[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kenyon has the top DIII swim team -- that's why my kid applied.[/quote]

Kenyon is without question a back up school for kids who really wanted but got rejected from the Northeast schools.  Grinnell and Oberlin are for kids who are not interested in the northeast. [/quote]

Wrong, and so provincial.[/quote]

I’m not wrong at all. Facts are facts:  Kenyon has an extremely low yield, meaning that the vast majority of its accepted applicants chose to go elsewhere.  [/quote]

So hard to read this because Kenyon is our dream school. For me and for my child, it’s all about fit and we just didn’t feel the same community vibe at other schools that we felt at Kenyon. It’s a special place.  [/quote]

Don't let other people's choices bother you.  Kenyon is a special place.  I'm very pleased that my kid chose it and excited for her to start this September.  [/quote]

People in the Northeast can’t stand it when somebody dares to have preferences different from theirs.

Don’t be surprised if they have a drum & bullhorn protest on your front lawn to try to make you feel bad for preferring Kenyon to Skidmore. [/quote]
