[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids applying to Davidson, Holy Cross, and Colgate want the academic/sports pre-Professional vibe. Yes, step down from Williams but the NESCAC is Div 3. Holy Cross was smart to hire a non-Jesuit and they have momentum. HC is in the quiet phase of capital campaign imagine it will be north of a $billion.  Colgate is struggling with applications down 3,000 last cycle and freezing cold remote upstate NY is a negstive. Shocked about Davidson’s restrctive religion Presbyterian litmus test.

[/quote] I generally find the “this school is way better than that school” arguments to be distasteful, especially when someone thinks Williams is just vastly superior to every other LAC. That said, the suggestion that the pecking order goes Williams>HC>rest of NESCAC>Colgate, etc. made me do a spit take. Don’t care how many HC alums are in C Suites. What an asinine way to evaluate a college. Wesleyan, for example, has produced Lin Manuel Miranda, Mike White, and Bill Belichick (among literally dozens of other wildly alums that are leaders in their fields.). How does that factor into your absurd three club test? HC is maybe the fourth or fifth most popular Catholic school. Its popularity will always be diminished im comparison nondenominational options. HC has to fight for ND, BC, and Georgetown’s leavings which is why its CDS data looks more like the bottom of the NESCAC than any of the top 8 or so. No shame in that but facts are facts. Take a seat with the Bucknell booster and ice up. [/quote]
