[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who think it's impossible for high stats kids to get deferred or rejected at schools that are outside the Top 10 are really clueless. Read the Selingo book - small schools in particular are focused on building a class which means as the PP has now tried to explain about 10 times, they might reject a highly qualified applicant because they already have found their tuba players or their Nevada residents or whatever box the applicant happens to check. And also, yield protection.[/quote]

This is so true.  There are too many high stat FP kids out there though some of us don’t want to believe it. FP kids may have slightly better shot at admission but not as much as you think. Most of the kids who likes SLAC are from money. A freshman class size range from 450-750 in these schools. They are small.

Finally someone said it: SLACs draw kids with money. The same families that prefer small, private schools often prefer small liberal arts colleges. This is something a lot of middle class parents who badmouth SLACs (because they’ve never heard of them) don’t seem to understand. [/quote]
