Colby vs Bowdoin

[golden dagger]

depends on major and aid

[tiny ember]

From what i've heard and in my opinion, Bowdoin is a tier above Colby. Both are absolutely gorgeous schools with amazing academics and are among the top LACs. but I think Bowdoin is the number 3 LAC in the country while Colby flirts with top 10

[floral dagger]

bowdoin seems better socially

and academically

depends on ur major tho

[placid dust]

Bowdoin>>>>

[zinc reef]

Ok whenever Colby plays bowdoin in hockey everyone in bowdoin says safety school over and over

So ….

[cursive vigil]

bowdoin all the way for most majors

[rose canyon]

What would you say Carleton is at for rankings @tiny ember

[tiny ember]

Williams, Pomona, Bowdoin, Swarthmore, Grinell, Carleton

[rose canyon]

Wait Grinnell at 5th?

What about Amherst

[tiny ember]

Amherst is up there but I like grinell better

Obviously these are just my personal preference rankings

[rose canyon]

Bruh you ranked Grinnell above Carleton

Their similar in level

But personally I like Carleton more and I think it is slightly better

[rose canyon]

Fair

[rose canyon]

I would rank similar to this but would put Wellesley 1 above or below Grinnell and move Carleton above Grinnell

Obviously it’s biased cause im going there this year

[zinc reef]

No offence to grinnell but Carleton, Middlebury, Harvey mudd and Middlebury as well as Wellesley are classified to be in the top 10 with Williams Amherst Pomona bowdoin and swarthmore

Grinnell is like number 11

But there isn’t like any difference between any of the top 10 lac and grinnell in job placements grad schools or anything

[tiny ember]

True i guess i'd just rather go to Grinell than those

Harvey Mudd is actually quite good but i didn't wanna include it cause stem specialized

[zinc reef]

fair

[cursive vigil]

carleton is insane for some majors

imo it's williams amherst pomona (maybe) bowdin and then carleton

[rose canyon]

Fr that’s why I chose to commit there. I heard it’s really cracked for pre med

[cursive vigil]

actually personally im a bigger fan of amherst

but

most people will tell you they're basically the same

[cursive vigil]

nah bro if you get accepted there

i'm pretty sure you go there

that school is absolutely incredible

[rose canyon]

I already commited

[cursive vigil]

plus you can take courses from pomona and harvey mudd

[rose canyon]

Got lucky in ED1

[cursive vigil]

which in itself

is insane

nice! really good school

[rose canyon]

Wait that’s Claremont Mckenna not Carleton

[cursive vigil]

oh

i got name mixed up

[rose canyon]

Lol

[cursive vigil]

carleton... i need to look that one up

[rose canyon]

Carleton is ranked number 6 for LAC rn

And is rlly good for pre med

And pre law

[cursive vigil]

oh

im not super familiar with it

mb

[rose canyon]

The only downside is the location which is in Minnesota

[cursive vigil]

i thought you meant Claremont

[rose canyon]

Lol

Claremont is insanely good

For economics and stem

[cursive vigil]

and med

that school has like

100% acceptance rate into med school

or so i've heard

[rose canyon]

No way that’s insane

[cursive vigil]

but judging from rankings alone, where you're going is also incredible! i just don't know anything abt it sadly 😭

[rose canyon]

Lol I get that a lot

[cursive vigil]

im not even joking that's what everyone say

[rose canyon]

People in my school treat people who get into NYu as gods while people think I’m going to a CC

It’s kinda sad tbh but I’m pretty happy with my choice

[rose canyon]

Yeah cause 100 percent seems way too good to be true

[cursive vigil]

either way it's very high

close to 100

is probably more accurate

[cursive vigil]

i personally am not a big fan of NYU

[rose canyon]

I think that might be the highest acceptance percent

[cursive vigil]

it has its perks for certain things

but

im not a fan

[rose canyon]

It’s good for business and arts

But I’m not that big of a fan of the large class sizes

[cursive vigil]

me neither

that being said i might end up in umich

so i'll be swallowing my words

if that happens

lmao

[rose canyon]

Umich is really good

Which schools did you apply for transfer?

[cursive vigil]

mich, uchicago, cornell, northwestern

😩

[rose canyon]

Ah nice hopefully you’ll get into them

[cursive vigil]

mich is semirealisti

[zinc reef]

which school r u in rn?

[cursive vigil]

the other ones

uh urochester

[zinc reef]

oh ic

isn't urochester good?

[cursive vigil]

it is good

[rose canyon]

Nah you have a good chance

[cursive vigil]

i like it here

but

[zinc reef]

W

[cursive vigil]

not great for my major

[zinc reef]

oh ic

[cursive vigil]

just tryna challenge myself more

it all depends on what you want to do with your life and goals

[rose canyon]

I’m pretty happy about it’s ranking and it’s pre med program

[cursive vigil]

bruh not the weather 😭

[rose canyon]

Like we’re tied with Bowdoin which is crazy and we’re ahead of Claremont

[cursive vigil]

i don't like cold but i've end up in like every cold place

[rose canyon]

Lol. I will transfer out if it’s too cold for my liking

[cursive vigil]

it's not exactly all based off of usnews rankings

i would say

[rose canyon]

Lol true, it all depends on best fit

And the program

[cursive vigil]

yep

[rose canyon]

Tbh rankings don’t matter

The top schools are all similar to each other and at the end of the day it all depends on preference

[cursive vigil]

right

[rose canyon]

Anyways I wish you luck with your transfer

Hopefully you’ll make a very good school that you would like

[cursive vigil]

tyty

either way i wouldn't be too upset

[rose canyon]

Uroch is already really good

[cursive vigil]

its very comfy here
