That is not necessarily true. Denison was the dream school and first choice for one of DC's friends, who was recruited as an athlete. The kid was delighted to be accepted. She's never been happier and is excelling in every way. Her high grades bode well for her professional/graduate school prospects, and she's been able to take piano lessons and further her musical education. Her parents are enthused about the school and wish they'd looked at Denison more closely for their older child, who was disappointed with her elite LAC. The kid was stressed out, unhappy, and earned mediocre grades that ruined her medical school hopes. I wonder why people would be disdainful of schools that are an excellent fit for some kids. It's a privilege to attend a school like Denison, and I wish my parents could have afforded a school like that for me. [/quote]

My DC also excelled at Denison and had so many opportunities, in part because of the huge endowment.  We loved it so much as parents that we still donate to the annual fund.[/quote]
