[quote=Anonymous]Amherst, Swarthmore, and Williams tend to attract the best students who "really want to attend a SLAC." Wellesley, Pomona and a few others too to a slightly lesser extent. It is similar to the Ivy League where there are tiers. With the top 3 group (which are the only 3 US News has ever ranked #1 and who have never dropped lower than #4), I think most are pretty comfortable with kids choosing the SLAC over a T20. 
If anything, in my experience, some SLAC kids and grads take pride in turning down certain other name schools that other T20 kids don't turn down without a serious financial incentive (rather than an inferiority complex). We know from these forums that many T20 schools are picked due to not getting in REA elsewhere or settling for a really good shot at ED or ED2 versus shooting your RD shot. The Chicagos, Georgetowns, Cornells, and even Dukes of the world are the ones whose students and alumni sometimes come across as having a bit of an inferiority complex.
