Full pay, even at schools with large endowments is a positive if not outcome determinative factor. And these schools don’t have large endowments. Even schools that hold themselves out as need blind often pivot to need aware at some point in the process, be that evaluating spring admits or taking kids off the waitlist.

+10! At our private the counselor recommends Colby for the full pay mid level students and they often get in op!
This is a lie. Their acceptance rate is 6.6%. And your claim is not reflected in their recent enrollment data, which is readily available. What's your problem with Colby? You get rejected with your terrible grades?
Their readily available CDS? Ha!
Basically the only school that doesn’t have one. Pretty sus

PP Yes, I can’t believe I left out the shadiest part of Colby’s enrollment management strategy. But they do get almost 20k applications, which is crazy. Even taking into account international applicants, that alone makes them a tougher admit, even for full pay kids with good but not great stats.

The very top LACS won’t have time for this but it seems many others would- for full pay applicants.
Rich kid problems.

Yes but they are still extremely selective. So, basically, you're wrong.
A toddler argument. Their Ed rate is notoriously high.
NP here. Colby is not Swarthmore but it is still a selective school and not an auto admit , especially in RD. They obviously play their admissions games (free application, lots of admits in ED, yield protection in RD) but plenty of schools do that, notably the University of Chicago. Like many schools there is an advantage in ED, even if not an athlete. All that said, it is very popular with kids from this region who are open to SLACS, so it’s still a “harder” admit than some of the other schools named above.

We looked at these (wasn’t TO, applied with scores in low 1400s but grades/rigor seemed similar). I liked both. DC thought Conn had a bit too east coast/prep school kid vibe so didn’t apply. The offer from Wooster was great, and we were pleasantly surprised by the campus and opportunities. As many have said, their supports were great.
Other options: Skidmore (might be a reach), Union, Denison, St Olaf, Muhlenberg, Hobart, St Lawrence, maybe Kenyon as a reach, Beloit might make a nice safety. If you’re open to west coast maybe Lewis and Clark, Occidental, Puget Sound.
Denison will be a reach.
