[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]‘I had a great experience at school x’ is pointless storytelling. SMCM is struggling and the quality of students it attracts is dwindling. At this point Salisbury has a better crop of students. Read the CDS if you want to know what’s really happening. [/quote]

Unsupported assertions are worse than personal anecdotes. If you have data, you should provide it. At least the PP had N=1.[/quote]

Actually a little more than N=1.  Facts and figures are in the CDS (which, thank you so much, I am very familiar with); I didn't see the dire warnings or portents of doom that the NP insinuates are contained therein.  However, you can look no further than the sainted US News and World Report Rankings: #92 for National Liberal Arts Colleges.  Given that there are about 550 liberal arts colleges in the US, that ranking is nothing to sneeze at.

Parents should spend less time acting as though college admissions are a zero sum game and/or promoting the idea that only a handful of schools are worthwhile and spend more time considering the real metrics of value---how you can get the best education for your child at a price you can afford.[/quote]
