minus 1000 for these [CTCL] schools.  they're not for "serious" students at all -- they're for students who weren't "serious" enough in high school to get into a decent college in the first place!  just look at their graduation rates, which don't compare well at all with higher ranked colleges.  serious students graduate!

[b]The above has been flagged for being inconsistent with the truth.[/b][/quote]

What's not true about it?  Do CTCL schools typically attract the nation's top high school students?  Do they have graduation rates on par with the nation's top colleges?  The answers to both questions are demonstrably "no."    [/quote]

Sure they don't compare with HYP, etc.  But I just looked at Naviance for Juniata (the first CTCL school that I could think of) and it has a 4 year graduation rate of 76%.  [b]That's higher than both VT (61%) and UMDCP (67%). [/b] Are we now saying that those aren't "decent colleges" for "serious" students?[/quote]

Your numbers are wrong.  Both of these schools have graduation rates in the 80s.  Show your work.[/quote]
