[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]asking as DH is saying these LA schools are equal prestige and education to at least the lower T20s and I disagree - think they should be lower. Yes great intimate educational experience, but can’t compare to a Vandy Rice Or WashU - should be lower imo - [/quote]
I think the thread consensus is that you are definitely wrong.
Hubby is probably wrong.
You both underestimate top SLACs.
WASP hovers around non-HYP Ivies (but all above Cornell). Definitely all above Chicago.[/quote]

You guys are nuts.

This is like asking where you would rank butter pecan as an ice cream flavor.

But if you were going to do it based on what people choose when given a choice, SLACs are not comparable to non HYP ivy.
It's probably not quite as desirable as Vanderbilt/Rice/Emory.
It's probably more desirable than NYU/USC/Northeastern.

For some people Williams is the perfect college because it is a SLAC but most people would take Vanderbilt over Williams
For others Annapolic is the perfect school
But the ivy draw is real and it is hard to ignore.  Even Cornell/Brown/Dartmouth are generally more desirable than SLACs [/quote]

Thought process of zero. Thx for adding nothing of value.[/quote]
