[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bowdoin is similar to Williams and Amherst.

Middlebury is similar to Hamilton and Vassar.

The other two are similar to Bucknell.[/quote]

Amherst, Bowdoin, Middlebury and Williams all have a very similar academic profile with avg SAT scores between 1500-1520 and acceptance levels of 8-10% or so
Hamilton and Vassar are just slightly below them with acceptance levels of 12-18%
Colby is probably slightly below this set but they haven't released a CDS in awhile.

Bates is a level down in terms of admit stats but similar in selectivity to Hamilton and Vassar. Their academic stats are far above Bucknell which is also an excellent school.[/quote]

Amherst, Bowdoin, and Williams:  acceptance rate 7-9; mean sat 1510-1530

Middlebury, Hamilton, Haverford:  acceptance rate 11-13; mean sat 1490

From their CDS (actual real data) Amherst, Bowdoin, Middlebury and Williams all are at the 98th pct for their SAT score median. Amherst, Middlebury and Williams all had acceptance rates of 10% and Bowdoin was 8%. Amherst and Bowdoin have slightly deflated acceptance rates as they are need blind for internationals and get additional international applicants because of this.
Hamilton and Vassar are close (really the same) in terms of student profile with a 97th pct SAT but only slightly less selective admissions. They are also basically the same as the others.

All of these schools are excellent, Bates and Colby are excellent as well. A prospective student should choose based on where they feel themselves spending 4 years getting a great education.
