[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like the stock pick analysis with some tweaks. Move Wesleyan to a sell for same reason as listed for Trinity as Hartford is not a big draw. Upgrade Haverford  access to Philly and Holy Cross access to Boston. Debating rating on W&L would twea to sell as its southern location is very rural as opposed to Davidson’s access to Charlotte. But overall great picks!

This is the stock poster. You may be right about Wes: I was on the fence. But Middletown is really not bad, has a walkable downtown, proximity to urban areas. Plus it has had a major downswing the last generation or two and is now holding its own.

Haverford also was on the fence. Hard to be such a second fiddle to Swat and be a buy, but you may be right.[/b]

W&L also on the fence but they have so much money and are in the south. Not many people even know they give a full ride, including room and board, to 10% of students. I stick with my “hold” on that one.[/quote]

Haverford is a dreamy little storybook school and I can see it appealing to kids. If I was a counselor and I had a artsy, "alt" kid, I might put it on a list and see what kind of FA they offered. But for full pay? I dont see the value, at all.[/quote]

Look, the cost can keep escalating like this. The northeastern schools will have to start ponying up some merit at some point, like Grinnell now does. That’s why endowment is so important. That will also be easier to do with smaller schools like Haverford than larger SLACs like Midd and Colgate.[/quote]
