[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m sorry people can’t stay on task.

I posted about Fiske earlier; just wanted to follow up with a bit more data.

I don’t have great tools to sort based on cost; you’ll need to check NPCs for that. But here’s a more complete list of Fiske’s five-star (for academics) schools between 2,000 and 10,000 students (my personal definition of mid-size is 4,000-9,000), but I figure this gives you some more options):

Barnard College
Brown University
Carleton College
Columbia University
Dartmouth College
Duke University
Harvard University
Johns Hopkins University
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Northwestern University
Princeton University
Rice University
Stanford University
University of Chicago
University of Pennsylvania
Wellesley College
Wesleyan University
William & Mary
Williams College
Yale University

If you get a copy of Fiske you can also expand down to the 4.5 star tier (still extremely strong academically; there’s nothing infallible about Fiske’s cutoffs, either) and pick up about a dozen more midsize schools, including WashU and St. Andrews.

As you look at costs and admit rates, you’ll likely see that William & Mary is the most accessible school on that list. It’s a shame there aren’t more like it.[/quote]

Other than size, I sincerely hope you aren’t actually lumping W&M in with those other schools.  I mean, come on.  [/quote]
Fiske seems to think there's a commonality. Are you an expert?[/quote]

A size commonality.  Please provide your link.[/quote]
