[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] hamilton is just sooo mid

no one’s first choice entering the college process. yeah kids ed there after reality sets in

bottom of the nescac in my DC’s friend group - never really comes up with Williams, Amherst, Bowdoin, Tufts, Wes and Colby[/quote]

Hamilton is far above Midd or Colby.  My DC’s friends - who applied to top SLACs including Hamilton, Williams, Bowdoin - would not consider Wes (faded popularity, too many artsy/loner types ) or Colby (depressed town/students not as smart but college has famed rankings).  And all those kids but one thought Tufts seemed like it was looking for an identity.[/quote]

The super-nerdy kids I know (not meant pejoratively) looking for top academics are applying to Bowdoin, Williams, Swarthmore, and Hamilton plus Ivies and schools like JHU, Duke, and MIT. Not Colby, Wes, Midd.[/quote]

agree with everything here, except Hamilton. Laughable to include Hamilton with Williams and Bowdoin - 3 levels below those schools[/quote]

That is not correct.[/quote]
