[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expect a notable rise in Washington & Lee, Davidson and the 5Cs. I don’t see it at Wesleyan — it’s too far left for a lot of kids but a great school.[/quote]

Wesleyan is way too left compared to the 5Cs? People with no real connection to the school regurgitate this stereotype but this hasn’t been my family’s experience. I don’t find it to be far to the left of many of its NESCAC peers, save maybe Williams. And the presence of CMC does not turn the 5Cs into U Chicago. Many of the other schools are just as if not more left leaning than Wes. [/quote]

my kid was a 24 graduate of wes and it was a god awful experience for him - from covid mismanagement to ultra left raging crazies treating every athlete like they are staunch MAGA supporters, to the hipster try-hard pot smoking film majors from brooklyn, it was the most divisive, insular, siloed and myopic place on earth to spend 4 years. Athletes beware [/quote]
Can we just have athlete only SLACs, and then SLACs with no varsity sports, like Reed? Then there’s no athlete-NARP divide. Something tells me, though, that the athlete-only Spartan schools would go down in stature….[/quote]

They are more likely to do very well. I'm not sure that you could call it a coincidence that SLACs which do very well in areas such as Banking and Consulting are also schools which have the highest levels of success in athletics. It probably also should not be a surprise that they have law school and med school admissions rates which are far above the norms. Extremely bright, well rounded, competitive people are highly valued and sought out.[/quote]
