Doubt Wellesley or Bowdoin or any other NESCAC can match that success.
I get that you want to boost HC but it's hardly better than the schools mentioned.

Are you the person who always posts about Holy Cross in corporate America?

Our next generation of business leaders will come from liberal arts colleges.
This year early results are disappointing. Top kids didn't get into ivy and ivy plus, many deferred. Many will apply RD and one of the 13s will welcome them there. Lucky ones may get accepted into SWAP or Bowdoin or Wellesley. In the long run, it's these kids who will lead the world.
That happens every year.

AI will replace entry level jobs. Unless Wellesley offers a plumbing major their new grads will suffer the same fate as those from all the other schools.

If yo listen to the blithering boosters here on DCUM you would think that there is nothing except math and engineering at the Ivies.
Well then in the next breath they criticize Yale, Dartmouth and Brown for being too liberal arts focused. Ha. These people are clueless. Ivies are liberal arts colleges. Yes, all Ivy League universities offer strong liberal arts programs and education, focusing on broad intellectual development across humanities, sciences, and arts.
Pretty obvious many of these detractors did not go to any of the Ivies.

Exactly. Not sure why the OP equated Ivies as the non-liberal arts when institutions like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown are more liberal arts than tech focused. Sure, they have great tech programs but humanities/social sciences (history, government, public policy, psychology, economics) have traditionally been where they have been the strongest.

the CEO metric is always weird to me. these are men (mostly) who went to college 40 years ago. it doesnt say a lot about where these colleges are placing kids now. although I like HC. this isn't really a metric I'd use to rank a college's current standing.

Completely wrong. Bowdoin, Williams, And Amherst do a lot better than Holy cross and babson is a joke for if you actually want a successful Wall Street career.
This analysis of Wall Street and IB feeder schools placed Babson ahead of Bowdoin:
Top Feeders to Wall Street https://share.google/sCrMbLVFQyocbY0Id
Nonetheless, Bowdoin did do well in having made the list.
Isn’t babson a business school? I’m not sure these stats mean anything.
I believe the analysis is sufficient to refute a poster's claim that Babson "is a joke if you actually want a successful Wall Street career." Nonetheless, I would say that Bowdoin would be better compared to other NESCAC LACs, such as Amherst, Williams, Middlebury and Hamilton, which also appear in the analysis.
That would be just foolish. Williams has long been the number one SLAC feeder to Wall Street and Amherst was second. In recent years the "Middlebury Mafia" has passed Amherst but all three are superior to Bowdoin in IB. Hamilton is as good or better as well.

DO you realize that your incessant prattling actually hurts your school in eyes of many here. You just come off as desperate and needy.

Is babson not a business school? Shouldn’t the whole point of its existence be to place people into these careers? Why is this impressive?
