[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean…most peer schools don’t do this.  [/quote]

This is as wrong as anything posted here today.  Every highly competitive school mentions that it is difficult to get into.  Every single one.

When I visited Yale they did so, and then (I swear this is true) when a young person asked if Yale had rolling admissions the very nice AO went into a short speech about how students need to look at the data to gauge their chances.

That was Yale "bragging" I guess.[/quote]

These aren’t really equivalent? PP said the AO wrote the admissions rate on the board and did a quiz about it and mentioned it multiple times.

And you’re really fixated on the word “bragging,” so I’ll change it to “hyper-focused.” Colby seems to be hyper-focused on its admissions rate in a way that peer institutions are not.[/quote]

Have you considered the irony of your position?  Why you are so triggered that they talk about it, and why you feel compelled to use hyperbolic terms to describe it for this one particular college?

[b]YOU[/b] are the one who is fixated.  I am the one saying it is no big deal.[/quote]
