[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HC dominates every LAC excluding Williams in Csuite placement and boardrooms. Midd. And Colgate might do better on Wall Street. As far as applications the trend is upwards for HC and recently down for Midd and Colgate. Holy Cross coasted for several years but their new President and admissions teams are hitting homeruns. Kids like sports and things to do culturally on weekends with Boston 1 hour away and Worcester’s rebirth. Sure beats going 15 miles to the Walmart which is a big problem for Hamilton, Colgate, Midd, Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, and Bucknell. HC mops the floor with Div 3 NESCAC in football, basketball, hockey, lacrosse and baseball. Tennis team recently beat Trinity but HC men’s rowing is consistently top 25. NESCACs would best HC in fencing, squash, and water polo. It’s endowment per student would be below Colby and Midd but Holy Crosd is beginning a large Capital Campaign. Williams, Amherst, and Bowdoin have the cache and $3-4 billion endowment to fight off rural locations. The rest of the NESCACs don’t. Kids want to be near civilization and HC is only Top LAC close to Boston not named Wellesley College. Holy Cross women basketball plays Michigan on ESPN this week snd baseball made it in NCAAs last spring it’s football team plays at Northwestern and Navy and lastly it is the oldest non Ivy rival over 130 years with Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and Brown. The Crusaders are moving in the right direction but yes not Williams/Amherst.[/quote]

SAT-CR: 630-710
SAT-M: 610-700
ACT: 27-32

And that's with only 30% submitting the SAT and 15% submitting the ACT.

Perfectly respectable numbers, but the comparisons to Williams or even Colgate are ridiculous. That academic profile is more in line with Conn College and Gettysburg.[/quote]
