[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CMC is also rising fast.  Then we will have to add a C to the acronym.  WASPBC?

I think the reason for WASP is based purely on the endowment size.  WASP have the largest endowment in the lac world.  [/quote]

cmc is not a full service lac. it's specialized for some subjects and their new science experiment is subpar so far.

so it's really not on the same plane as Wasp. I'd put cmc below bowdoin, wellesley, and carleton too. [/quote]
Their new “science experiment” is less than a year old.[/quote]
I think this makes sense, but then the same reasoning would have to apply to Mudd and Wellesley. From an admissions selectivity standpoint, though, CMC is well above Carleton and Wellesley. Bowdoin, admissions-wise, really stands with WASP. And it would not be the lowest of the WASP schools, either — that would probably be Swarthmore.[/quote]

All of the international need blind schools have artificially low admissions rates because of the excess numbers of internationals applying. This includes all of the Ivies as well.[/quote]
