[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people who apply to lacs apply to some universities.[/quote]

say what? please give a cite for this bizarre geberalization.[/quote]

I’m not the poster but it makes sense to me. If you’re aiming for “elite” lacs, there are only so many. It stands to reason that one would cast a wider net with the unpredictability of admissions. [/quote]

Yes, as we all know there are only 4 “elite” lacs. Someone alert Carleton and below that they should pack it in. Don’t ever change DCUM. [/quote]

Look, with the current exorbitant price tag of college it's reasonable to consider ROI. Many consider a balance between the quality of the education and the brand name. I absolutely know a fabulous education can be had at a Carleton or Grinnell, but the "brand" isn't quite the same. If Carleton gave merit money, it would be a very strong contender. But at $87,00 a year, no. If the money were nothing to us, well then sure, maybe. But I think looking at lower Ivies, Georgetown etc., or the state flagship honors program makes good sense in that case. Yes, because of the name/value ratio. And Oberlin would have been a contender because of generous merit. The calculus differs for every family.[/quote]
