[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the top 10-15 SLACs (remove military academies), the kids are Ivy-smart but more interesting, more academic, and less performative than the Ivy kids.  Together, that puts all these colleges above the Ivies for an undergraduate experience.

Ivies excel at graduate and professional school. Did you know that most of Harvard’s endowment contributions come from HBS and HLS, not the plain undergraduates?[/quote]I love the SLAC I attended and have posted many times in this thread to defend it, but this simply isn't true[/quote]

The kids at the SLACs implied give no ground to Ivy students academically and the SLACs themselves give no ground to any Ivy when it comes to undergraduate instruction and support. Regarding [b]"the kids are Ivy-smart but more interesting, more academic, and less performative than the Ivy kids."[/b] I would say that there will be some differences between the groups but they are much more alike than different.[/quote]PP. Agreed. Calling one group or the other "more interesting" just feels wrong[/quote]

PP is talking about the Ivy students who need remedial math and don't go to class or do the readings, per recent news and policy changes? You know who do the readings go to class, and are genuinely intellectually curious? SLAC students.[/quote]
