[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are "CTCL" schools?[/quote]

An NYT education reporter coined the term, then wrote a book (maybe more) about them. They're mainly liberal arts colleges outside the Northeast. There are some posters on here who seem to live to hate them and accuse anyone who even mentions one of them of having veal for children. Yes, they may not be as prestigious as some of the NESCACs, but some crank out grads in certain fields who go on to top grad schools, etc. For example, Wooster is known for its physics program. [b]They are a good alternative for students who can only afford in-state, but may better thrive in a LAC.[/b] There are some who offer generous merit packages to make that possible. [/quote]

What this poster really means is that they're a good alternative for kids who don't have to smarts to get into top ranked private colleges but have parents with money who think their kids are too special for state schools.[/quote]

You're so special. Must be good to be fortunate that your DC can thrive in any environment. Pray they never really need your support in an area you deem weak or insufficient because they already know not to come to you.[/quote]
