End result 40% (I don't know the actual numbers but know it's significant) of adolescent girls, understandably questioning changes happening to their bodies and lives, now think they are gender fluid or trans or whatever the media is screaming about. Definitely, some of them are fluid or trans, and that's fine. But a percentage such as 40% ? Get out of town.

This is why the Ivy Leagues are losing their cachet. They're living la vida loca in an imaginary playground in their minds.

Thank you for having the guts to say what all sane people are thinking.

“such an underrated point. There’s so many better outcome LACs than WASP, but they get all the cache for whatever reason. People are too obsessed with acceptance rates to understand the quality of the non-WASP LACs, so all the other schools get dunked on. For some reason, people here love Davidson though.”

Are the WASP schools one big sham?! Should we be looking at a different group of top lacs, based on outcomes, not “prestige,” whatever that means?

WASP is just an acronym like HYPSM. Great schools but not the only great schools. Also, depends on what you want to do. If you want to be a scientist then Caltech or Harvey Mudd are top choices.

Generally because they cannot get into the better schools which are up north.

Seriously. No kid with a brain is going to sewanee or furman over Williams. The only LAC worth its salt in the south is W&L and even it’s…mediocre. Davidson is fine, but irs for students who think Charlotte is an exciting place, not exactly elite.

Strongly disagree — W&L way too Greek. Yuck

Sorry you didn't get a bid.

You autists know there’s more than 1 diss you can dish out than “your child didn’t get ___.” It’s so stupid.
