[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bates.  Tulane.  SMU.  UC Santa Barbara.  Ole Miss.  Sewanne.  Kenyon.  Davidson.  Wake.  Washington and Lee.  USC.  U Vermont.

All taken from Big 3 matriculation lists this year.

Which ones would you consider "disappointments"?[/quote]

Adding to this list, what would you say for NYU, U of Wisconsin, Macalester?[/quote]

NYU is super popular but tuition/books + cost of living in NYC makes it ridiculous.  Not sure why people spend the money to send their kids to undergrad there.  Med/Law/MBA are a whole different story.  U of Wisconsin would be preferred to all the others mentioned on the list unless a UC and from CA.  Macalester is a good well know regional school - yes, if you live in Minnesota but why choose it over U of MN?[/quote]

Wisconsin is behind most on the list except Ole Miss and Sewanee - unless you are a grad student that wants to o research - for undergrad it's not close.  [/quote]

Curious about the Sewanee listing here. Sewanee--University of the South is ranked number 36 for national liberal arts colleges by U.S. News. That ranking is just behind Kenyon (32) and ahead of Tulane, UCSB, SMU, Vermont and Ole Miss from this collection of colleges. Perhaps it is the northeastern orientation of the readers here that considers southern colleges or midwest options inferior. Times are changing, folks. [/quote]
