[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no opinion on whether Colby is “overrated” and generally think it’s a crappy way to talk about schools. But a very small school actively soliciting tons of applications then making a big deal about their low acceptance rate doesn’t feel right. [/quote] Where are they "making a big deal of it?" [quote]Why is it great that they are making applying easier if it just means more kids get rejected? Are they using the increased application access to significantly diversify their student body or welcome more low-income students? If not, it’s hard to see how this is positive for anyone except Colby.[/quote] Because this process will allow Colby to have applicants they wouldn't otherwise get, which is a good thing for them, and allows other kids to apply without risk if they are uncertain about Colby, which is good for them. I see no negative at all, except maybe it makes it harder for kids with bubble stats who want to attend. [/quote]
