I think UVM is a tier above, despite what rankings services have to say.


Sorry, but you are wrong.

I a not a fan of U of South Carolina, but the honors college is above U. Vermont.

You don't see UofSC on the Sidwell matriculation list.


No, but Gonzaga sends several boys every year.


People typically choose honors colleges at publics over privates due to cost. Nobody is spending Sidwell $ to then save $ on college.

+1000
People think because they know one 1600 that attends XYZ U's honors college everyone in that college is like that. So wrong.


And same at T15.

Not so, actually.

do these honors colleges attract more OOS kids? or just the elite in state kids who would normally head OOS - would be interesting to see this breakdown for UVM ASU and South Carolina

The average at UGA Morehead is slightly north of 1500 every year. And UGA is a test-required school, so those numbers are real.
Both of these numbers sound 185% made up.

I was mostly interested in UofSC because GA is a state flagship but okay.


UofSC and UGA are both flagships.

You sound like an idiot. Also some of us realize that it typically takes $$$ to be at a private top 15, and so there are many equally capable students at publics
