William and Mary doesn't have an easy twin because no other state has such a hybrid school...a public school crossed with a SLAC. It might be something like Cal Poly SLO...but different focus

Stop trying to make Tulane something its not.


Duke and Northwestern are now more similar to each other than Duke and Vanderbilt. Talk to kids there NOW. Not years ago. What's happened to greek life in the last few years. Social life. Parties. The types of kids being admitted. Its a VERY VERY different school socially.

I would take Furman and Oberlin off this list and add Richmond and Bucknell.


Richmond doesn't get enough love from DCUM...it truly is a jewel in Virginia

Bowdoin : Davidson

Top-tier, high-yield, TO, similarly-sized LACs, highly ranked for undergraduate teaching, located in cute towns ~30 mins from a city.
