[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do posters have to be so coy about naming schools.  Every school that gets batted around on threads like these gets many applicants from many DMV schools -- private and public.  There's no danger that you'll out yourself, and naming the school is much more helpful.[/quote]

Yeah, well, I'd rather protect DC's privacy (and provide some limited help) than overshare and risk someone IDing my kid (or even worse becoming convinced my kid is someone else's kid)....and there is not really a need for more specificity.  Knowing that this school was in the same league as Davidson and that my kid was denied with the stats I listed is really every bit as helpful as knowing the specific school.  The point is, for this category of highly selective SLACs, these stats aren't a guarantee of ED admission.[/quote]
You're certainly free to withhold the name the school but to assume that "the same league as Davidson" is helpful to me, is wrong.  [/quote]

Not the prior poster but it's not that hard...figure "in the league" is a SLAC ranked somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-20 on USNews...[/quote]

10-20 is pretty uber elite.  People are thinking there are more fine-grained distinctions between schools than there actually are.[/quote]
