[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What school has you scratching your head when you see one of DC’s friends attend?[/quote]

Northeastern, Colby, Rhodes
& mid tier state schools OOS (UGA, UTenn, Clemson, UC Irvine) when they got into William&Mary or VT

Colby is in the top 10% of LACs in the country.  You don’t have to love the college, but why would that make you scratch your head?

Northeastern, Colby, Rhodes are usually picked by students who got into William and Mary and in some cases better LACs yet chose these schools, at full price, when they are not a good, objectively, on many measures. [/quote]

Northeastern gets top tier students.

Oh here we go again. A few years back they accepted a mediocre student with a 1320 SAT from my kid’s school with no sport, music, or other long-term discernible talent. I wouldn’t call this student top-tier. She’s also had a very hard time finding her people. [/quote]

Not impressed with a school that has mastered gaming the rankings. [/quote]
