[quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]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.[/b][/quote]
