[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lol at thinking Davidson is a braniac school. It ranks 54th nationally for alumni earning PhDs per capita. St. John's is in not in the top 20, whereas HYP, Williams, Pomona, Haverford, and Amherst are. Those are the real next tier braniac schools. [/quote]

It is really odd & kind of creepy that you even have this kind of random information about this very small college (or any other for that matter).

Are you the poster who spews your strange vitriol for this school on almost every thread where it is mentioned? Are you  pathologically bitter about not getting in or about them accepting your kid’s (obviously less worthy!) archenemy over him or her or something?

-NP with no affiliation whatsoever with Davidson[/quote]

Not PP but I’d rather have facts like the PP provided than the worthless opinion of some stranger.....do you understand the difference in value?  And I particularly detest the idiotic retort that any critique of a college must be motivated by a denial of admission......just a monumentally stupid comment.[/quote]

I get that facts are important but it just seemed like a really random fact to pull out.

As someone who has read this board on & off for a couple of years, it also seems like there is at least one poster who relishes in any chance to put down this particular school (& a couple of others). Just my honest observation! It’s kind of like the (anti) hard-on some on the far right have for Soros &/or Podesta lol... I have no idea what motivates him or her to do so, obviously, but was just hazarding a guess in a (fruitless) effort to understand as I find having so much vitriol towards a SLAC of all things to be very odd (& the only real life case of this I know of — in which the person’s strange vitriol is directed towards a different SLAC — was, in fact, motivated by her DC not getting in when she thought he should have).

To me, it looks as if the schools that get the most weird hate are the University of Chicago and Davidson College.

One thing that those two schools have in common is serious battles over speaking engagements with an alt-right media personality, Milo Yiannopoulos.

Maybe the weird posts come from Milo fans.

That’s possible as Berkeley gets what seems like a disproportionate amount of hate on here,too. I guess it doesn’t seem quite as weird,though, as it is a much larger school that has long been the subject of much hatred among a certain segment of the population.[/quote]
