[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the T5 Lacs?[/quote]

in no particular order
swarthmore
williams
bowdoin
pomona
amherst
wellesley

yes, there are 6 not 5[/quote]
There are 5, Bowdoin should be taken off the list.[/quote]

Bowdoin is currently outranking Pomona and Wellesley.[/quote]

Why stop at 5 or 6. Middlebury, Hamilton, Wesleyan, Colby and Bates are strong too. Enough of the ranking -- let your kid pick the school where they feel comfortable and it will be great.[/quote]

I agree, and why stop there? As I posted much earlier

There are 9 SLACs with with SAT medians above 1500

Amherst
Bowdoin
Claremont McKenna
Harvey Mudd
Middlebury
Pomona
Swarthmore
Wellesley
Williams

and another cluster right behind them (1480+)
Carleton
Colgate
Davidson
Hamilton
Haverford
Vassar
Washington & Lee

Academically their student bodies are indistinguishable.

Wesleyan
Bates
Colby
Smith
Grinnell

are all great schools with only slightly lower SAT averages.

26 well resourced schools all with excellent students. The idea that one can objectively stack rank them is frankly foolish.
