[quote=Anonymous]The thing with LACs is that most people haven't heard of most of them – even the highly respected ones – save for the ones in their city or that a friend/family member attended. Even top LACs like Amherst or Pomona probably aren't on the radar of your neighbor Fred who lives around the corner. (Because their sports teams don't end up on TV very often.) What matters is if people in grad-school admission offices or HR departments have heard of them. In that case, most LACs at least in the top 100 of USNWR have good to great recognition. And many LAC grads will have good research experience and professor recommendations by their senior years. So going for the school that seems like the best fit – and that has a decent reputation for your kid's probably major – is the best strategy. [/quote]
