[quote=Anonymous][quote]  Obviously, we disagree about whether or not Colgate and Bates have very different campus cultures. [/quote]

No, you're either ignoring or missing the point i've made repeatedly.   The campus cultures may well be very different, but it's entirely reasonable for one student to be interested in or apply to both.  The previous comment that "no reasonably informed person would be considering both" was unwarranted and incorrect.

Here you go, let's put this to rest.     https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/colgate.university.data.analytics.and.decision.support/viz/IndividualEmploymentandContinuingEducationOutcomes/IndividualEmploymentandContinuingEducationOutcomes
Looking at the data for the class of 2019 (last pre-COVID year), you'll see a vast spread of employers from different sectors (as well as grad schools).   The only ones taking five or more Colgate grads (from a graduating class of just under 700) are:
EY (24), Colgate (15), Guidepoint (13), NIH (6), Goldman Sachs (6), Memorial Sloan Kettering (5), Brigham and Women's Hospital (5), Wayfair (5).   If you look at the other big financial services firms, Citi takes 1, JPM takes 2, BofA Merrill takes four.   Not overwhelming out of 700. Compared to say 4 going to Comcast/NBC, 2 going to Google, 1 going to Conde Nast.  
Don't respond unless you're prepared to cite some comps for other schools (not just for Bates - the assertion here on DCUM is that the finance contingent at Colgate is "dominant" and exceeds that of other schools).  A comment like "6 out of 700 going to Goldman Sachs just feels high to me" would be a kind of pointless retort.
