It should still be above Trinity and Conn, which really seem non-selective at this point if you are full pay



Bates and Colby are essentially the same.

If you go by raw academic stats (class sizes, student to faculty ratio, financial spending, etc.) Williams is the front runner. You have oxford style tutorials and some top notch academic centers at Williams too.


All the criteria you list are very similar between the two. In fact, Amherst has a higher per student endowment than Williams. Not sure how important Oxford-style tutorials are given such small classes at both. If it were so great, Oxford University would be so much better than top research universities in the US which is not the case.

switch wes and ham


hamilton is a hard one to figure out - I really wanted to be impressed but the place is just sooo depressing and lacks energy. My DC gave me the high sign to bolt halfway thru the tour. iPretty bleh feeling overall - only school where kids appeared more fake and robotic was Williams. At least Wesleyan has a personality, and the campus felt electric during our tour - kids were passionate, like it or not. Much too woke though end of day, even for an athlete


I am not really sure how one could get that information from a tour of a school. or in this case, half a tour! how did you figure out that the students were fake and robotic? where did your DC end up?
