[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are "the 13s?"[/quote] There are 8 schools tied st 13 on the most recent US News LAC ranking. Referring to them as such provides some anonymity and people who care about LACs get the reference. People who discount LACs or think only the so-called WASP schools are “worth it” likely won’t. The premise of this s entire thread seems to be “I’m terrified my kid won’t get into Duke even though they totally deserve it because they can’t break 1500.” Probably not a lot of LAC fans here. [/quote] I had never heard that before but I have a kid at a 13! Makes sense. The schools are so small you do risk identification. [/quote] My kid scored 1500+ on the SAT and I would have been thrilled to have them attend any of the “13’s”. I’m a biased SLAC grad and dismayed at the way some on this board write off the LAC’s as some sort of fallback. They’re an alternative to the T-25’s, not a fallback.[/quote]
