[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Always wise to check first year retention rate for any school being given serious consideration.

First year retention rates: (Data for period 0f 2017 through Fall 2020)

Kenyon 90%
Grinnell 90%
Oberlin 89%
Denison 88%

According to US News, there are 41 LACs with retention rates above 90%.

90% is very good, but not excellent.[/quote]

This data is iffy, but it makes sense that lower ranked schools see more transfers than higher ranked schools.  A few kids for whom it was more of a Likely than a Reach maybe feel they can climb the ladder.  Nowhere for you to really climb if you are already at Williams or Amherst.[/quote]

Agree with this although I think the reason [b]why kids transfer from Williams to say Columbia would apply to Kenyon[/b] -- some kids realize they really miss being in or near a city. [/quote]

What does that mean?[/quote]

DP--I think this is a grammatical confusion-- it's the REASON--that  WOULD APPLY  (meaning be applicable) not the KID who would APPLY (meaning seek to gain admission) to KENYON.  I love language![/quote]
