[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't believe the out-of-teach weirdos in this thread. Vast majority of people have never heard of these schools, and most do not care. It certainly won't give you "a leg up" or confer some magical social status if you attend, despite the very pushy insistence of the aforementioned posters.[/quote]

This is just wrong.  My spouse went to a different, but similarly ranked SLAC.  I had not heard of it until I moved into spouse's social circle.  Every one of the graduates of spouse's SLAC is very successful, both in terms of rewarding work and financial comfort.  Every single one.  These schools are an entrance into that world be it through graduate/professional schools or direct to career.

Frankly, it doesn't really matter if the vast majority of people have heard of the schools or not.  If the graduate schools and employers in the areas of interest to the student have heard of the school, that is what makes all the difference.  Curious what is the student in the original post interested in studying?  That would help differentiate.[/quote]

They’re successful because they probably came from money. Colby is known to have mostly elite students, primarily from the 1%. Many many private school kids go to SLACs.

Your desperation is embarrassing.[/quote]

Diff poster here - not sure what you are trying to say - inarticulate response. Colby is known to have mostly wealthy students. [/quote]

The use of the phrase "elite students" is embarrassing.[/quote]
