All Liberal Arts Colleges (LACs) (2025-2026)

[glossy lagoon]

they make me wait forever

[empty knoll]

24 left in RD ✌️✌️✌️

[cyan moss]

17 for me

[stiff hornet]

Atooo

yooo

how do yall feel abt athlete vs non athletes at lacs

[smoky nacelle]

sad

we should all intermingle

[glass hornet]

Hey

[stiff hornet]

I know a Williams athlete he’s very nice

an incoming one

[smoky nacelle]

o I probably know him

what are his initials

[stiff hornet]

MG

[round jolt]

it’s one of the big cons of LACS for me

For some lacs I’m sure it’s not that bad tho

[stiff hornet]

I don’t feel as if it’s that bad as I’m a pretty sporty person and played in HS

but idk

[round jolt]

I’m not rlly a sporty person beyond working out sometimes so that’s part of the reason

[stiff hornet]

yeah no worries tho

r u committed?

[round jolt]

No I’m still waiting on about 11 more schools

It’s not looking good tho

I might commit to uni of rochester

I think I’m actually gonna get rejected from everything else lol

[stiff hornet]

why

[round jolt]

cus Union and skidmore alr rejected me

I do need full need tho

So that might’ve been the reason or I’m just bad

[loud helm]

tbh im not like a heavy sports person so i don’t really care for them but athletes at lacs r usually admitted ed1 so i dont think it a huge worry for rd applicants

[stiff hornet]

nah I’m talking abt like socially

r u committed to bates? Or thinking about it?

[loud helm]

heavily considering it!

[stiff hornet]

it’s amazing

did give good aid?

[loud helm]

im likely gonna commit to bates :)

[stiff hornet]

yay

[loud helm]

near a full ride

[stiff hornet]

amazing

[loud helm]

[stiff hornet]

what other lacs have you gotten into or r waiting

[loud helm]

bates was actually my first rd decision lol

i haven’t gotten any others yet

[stiff hornet]

have you been in person

I hear Lewiston is kinda a con can’t speak to it tho

[loud helm]

i visit next month they r paying for my admitted students weekend

[loud helm]

ive heard this too but ive also heard bates is a proper college town so it isnt too much of an issue

[stiff hornet]

yay!

Denison is paying for mine

like the travel and hotel

[loud helm]

omg yay

ive heard good things abt denison

[stiff hornet]

was ur efc low?

or did they surprise w full ride

[loud helm]

my sai is -1500 lol

[stiff hornet]

bc ngl im like not low income and they gave damn near a full ride

but I also got 30k merit

[loud helm]

but i wasnt expecting the full ride bc other schools have screwed me over

[stiff hornet]

like what

bates is so fire tho congrats

[loud helm]

almost every other school aside from sbu which is a state school was quoting me like 18k

which is insane

and over half my familys income

[stiff hornet]

18k is a good price per year what?

ohhh wait nvm

my fault

[upper glade]

heard theres no like social barrier at colby at least

[loud helm]

my famiily is very low income

so its like

genuinely a disgusting part of our yearly income

[stiff hornet]

what’s sbu

[upper glade]

bates came at the right time for you wow

stony brook

SUNY

you said bates was your biggest reach right

[loud helm]

yes lol

[glass hornet]

Wait what’s this

[stiff hornet]

loon it up

it’s for a lot of top lacs

it’s for engineering tho

[rocky pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/jacob-anderson-louis-de-point-du-lac-iwtv-smiling-looking-around-gif-5834880820142091750

[stiff hornet]

aren’t u English

[glossy lagoon]

you do 3 years at a LAC and 2 years at another college for 2 degrees

usually a BA and a BSC in engineering

[upper glade]

2-1-1-1 or 3-2 yeah

[stiff hornet]

wtf is 2-1-1-1 lol

[glossy lagoon]

you do 2 years at LAC

1 year at engineering school

1 year at LAC

then go back to engineering school

[stiff hornet]

wow

what schools do that

like the engineering schools

[glossy lagoon]

i plan on doing one of those stuffs if i get into a LAC

dartmouth columbia and uwash but depend

[upper glade]

darty and columbia

[stiff hornet]

what ones did u apply

[glossy lagoon]

on the specific LAC you go to

[stiff hornet]

yall think Columbia will have it in 3 years

[upper glade]

u can choose depends on when u apply i tink

[stiff hornet]

by the time we’re gonna be ready

or will program phase out

[glossy lagoon]

amherst williams colby davidson balah balah balah

[glossy lagoon]

its there for a long time

[stiff hornet]

how yk

[glossy lagoon]

but not many bother with it

[upper glade]

yk they had guarantees before but it became known as a backdoor so now its not

[stiff hornet]

y

[glossy lagoon]

cause its hard

[stiff hornet]

yeah

[upper glade]

so who knows

[stiff hornet]

hard but high reward I feel like

[glossy lagoon]

just look it up on reddits there are ancient posts about it

[stiff hornet]

gotta take chances in life

[glossy lagoon]

most say that its not all that beneficial

[stiff hornet]

I mean lowkey if it’s not a guarantee anymore it’ll prolly stay longer no?

[upper glade]

i hope so too

[glossy lagoon]

after all if your goal is engineering why not go to an engineering school in the first place

[stiff hornet]

undergrad education idk lol

[upper glade]

like industrial/operations eng on finaid would be nice

[stiff hornet]

I wanna do financial engineering

[upper glade]

I love the idea of extra school

[stiff hornet]

so not the same if

[upper glade]

to delay unemployment

[stiff hornet]

ig

[glossy lagoon]

most of them grant 2 bachelor

[upper glade]

and engineering might make me employable

so

[glossy lagoon]

not a bachelor and a master

[upper glade]

win win

[stiff hornet]

and you get a Columbia degree

[upper glade]

yuh

and its not GS

[glossy lagoon]

only a few of them offer accelerated masters

[upper glade]

its SEAS

[glossy lagoon]

whats gs

[stiff hornet]

financial engineering isn’t rlly like typical engineering

I’m sure it would benefit more

[upper glade]

yuh

[stiff hornet]

general studies

a Columbia school

[upper glade]

its columbia's UG college u can only apply as nontrad

[glossy lagoon]

oh ok

[glass hornet]

Is it only available at top LACs

[stiff hornet]

nah

[upper glade]

u get the same degree and everything but its a separate school from SEAS and CC

[stiff hornet]

I mean going to a top lac prolly makes it hell easy

easier

to get in

since no guarantees

[upper glade]

this is for dartmouth

[upper glade]

yupp

[stiff hornet]

does Denison count as a top lac

[glossy lagoon]

dont some of them have guarantees?

[cloud lion]

only thing i didnt get is "you're just as excited by literature as by ai"
what does that mean 😭

[loud helm]

ur into both

[stiff hornet]

they forgot Denison man

[stiff hornet]

?

[loud helm]

what this

[waxen lava]

uh is it a good sign that amherst alllowed me to submit an external LoR from my research supervisor if they said in their common app they dont allow additional lor

im just grasping at straws 🙏

[glossy lagoon]

none can tell

[cloud lion]

i mean obviously that's what it means in english but what is that sentecne doing in the email and what does it mean in the context of it lol

[upper glade]

dartmouth dual degree partner colleges

[glossy lagoon]

they probably want you so badly

[loud helm]

oh girl i have no clue LMFAOO

[glossy lagoon]

i still cant access amherst finaid portal

[upper glade]

when did they allow it

[waxen lava]

this was in january

[loud helm]

ohh yes me and my friends wanna do this lol

[upper glade]

midwest :p

[stiff hornet]

Midwest the best

[upper glade]

ok that was before review so

[stiff hornet]

Denison don’t rlly feel like Midwest to me as a midwesterner

[waxen lava]

they said in their commonapp they dont allow, but i asked them in an email and they replied in february

[upper glade]

idt you can infer anything

[upper glade]

oh

maybe?

[glossy lagoon]

if they said yes then its yes

they respond fairly quickly for me

i asked about music supps

[waxen lava]

yeah my supersvisor was asked to send them an email

[glossy lagoon]

but didnt send in one

[waxen lava]

with my LoR

[glossy lagoon]

would it help if i send it rn

🤔

[stiff hornet]

Princeton review quality of life top list got hella lacs

[empty knoll]

yessir and lac caltech, and lac dartmouth

[waxen lava]

i did math research

so idk

[upper glade]

all art supps were due jan 15th I think

[glossy lagoon]

yeah

[stiff hornet]

caltech?

[upper glade]

they wanted a recommender so I dipped

[glossy lagoon]

i was going full on visual art

[waxen lava]

amherst has a specific reearch project question

[glossy lagoon]

even though i do a bit of everything

[empty knoll]

yeah like 10 lacs have 3+2 with daltech

[waxen lava]

and i answered it

[stiff hornet]

which

[glossy lagoon]

cant find time to arrange something

[upper glade]

they might have wanted the rec bc they are serious abt verifying the research

[empty knoll]

bowdoin, pomona i think snd a few more

[waxen lava]

i hope so

[empty knoll]

check online

[glossy lagoon]

jst look it up online

[upper glade]

and if they thought so it would be a big plus for you so

gl

[waxen lava]

this same letter was sent to purdue and uiuc

i was waitlist uiuc though

[glossy lagoon]

did u bag em

[waxen lava]

[stiff hornet]

[waxen lava]

idk

im waiting for amherst

lmfao

[waxen lava]

if amherst admits me, ill go

no questins asked

[empty knoll]

brown didnt want us

[waxen lava]

fr

[empty knoll]

id pick amherst over any ivy except yale and pton

[stiff hornet]

even w fin aid

[stiff hornet]

columvia

Harvard

[waxen lava]

tbh if i get in yale and amherst id have to go with yale but yale is a long shot

[empty knoll]

mid

[loud helm]

i did not apply to any ivies

[empty knoll]

mid

[waxen lava]

so if amherst bags me

[empty knoll]

i wish i didnt apply lmao

[waxen lava]

its where ill end up

[empty knoll]

fr, id do so too

[dusty dagger]

are you not commited somewhere alr

how are you verified

[glass hornet]

I m too stupid to even apply

💀💔

[waxen lava]

im not verified

[loud helm]

girl me too don’t worry LMFAOOO

[waxen lava]

i alwasy had this purple role thing

ill change it

[grizzled glacier]

like 50% of williams students are full pay and it's so hard for me to believe

[waxen lava]

there we go

[stiff hornet]

Athletes

my friend is full pay

he’s very intelligent tho

would you say Williams athletes r smart

[grizzled glacier]

no it's crazy you'll be talking to someone and it turns out they're full pay

[grizzled glacier]

ya

[upper glade]

d3 schools don't compensate on academics much

[grizzled glacier]

they're all really dedicated imo

[upper glade]

like you can very likely be rejected with a coach rec

if you don't meet the bar

[glass hornet]

I refuse to talk to rich ppl

[stiff hornet]

yah my friend is very good at baseball going and he’s locked in asf

[grizzled glacier]

there's always gonna be like the ones who know they have a job set for ib and they just need to get their econ and political econ requirements done so they barely try but that's not a problem w athletes imo

[stiff hornet]

y? You can learn a lot

[upper glade]

is this later in the years like juniors n seniors since recruitment ends early or

nepos

I mean it was legit called the west point of wall street so...

[stiff hornet]

West Point is so tuff

[grizzled glacier]

lol i'm a sophomore and a lot of my classmates alrd secured their first ib internships😭😭😭

[upper glade]

ohh

[stiff hornet]

u in Econ?

[grizzled glacier]

logging onto linkedin these past weeks made me feel like such a bum

[upper glade]

how's political economy there

[grizzled glacier]

i was about to but then i switched out

ik a lot of ppl tho

[stiff hornet]

To what

[upper glade]

do you discuss like different schools of econ

heterodox ones asw

[glass hornet]

I asked one of my berk friend last night, I asked him if UCs give free tuition to Cali resident, then he said “yeah to ppl like u, not me, cuz my income is too high for them.”

[languid coral]

LITERALLY

[upper glade]

i find classical/marxian fascinating

[glass hornet]

I Feel MOGGED

💔

[grizzled glacier]

political econ is great bc they require an internship or work experience to graduate, but it's unfortunately very oriented on domestic political econ and not non mainstream theory or international stuff

[languid coral]

like wdym i’ll be in a room and probably half the people in there are dropping 90k a year to be here

[upper glade]

ohhh

so its basically an IB pipeline program?!

[grizzled glacier]

ya prob😭

[upper glade]

are you a citizen/perm resident or

intl

[idle bobcat]

Nothing is a ib pipeline!

Its a self selecting role

From what I’ve heard…

[upper glade]

coz like the options for major choices r kinda limited if you want that OPT extension right

[idle bobcat]

The thing abt it is not many schools have the major…

[grizzled glacier]

i'm in a class that's also listed as political econ but it's focused on comparative politics and they tweaked this ib guys project to fit what he's gonna be doing in his ib internship so very ib suitable

[stiff hornet]

can yall hoop

[grizzled glacier]

ya i'm a citizen

[upper glade]

ah okie

[grizzled glacier]

ya it's a shame

[idle bobcat]

Is it hard to break into ib without nepo connections at Williams?

[stiff hornet]

@grizzled glacier how many non athletes get into IB

facts

Breaking into ib is hard no matter what

[upper glade]

I mean williams is a target

[idle bobcat]

Yeah but having a foot in the door is easy user

[stiff hornet]

Ig

[grizzled glacier]

there are some smaller nyc firms that teams tend to all go to but honestly i feel like for jp morgan and the bigger firms there's no team bias

[upper glade]

if u start prepping early (which is lowk sad) its prolly not that hard to land a role

[grizzled glacier]

^

[upper glade]

I feel like i'm there alr lol

plz williams

[grizzled glacier]

i will say that obv having no nepo connections is hard but you can off set it with networking really hard like since you get there

[upper glade]

no historical admit from my school afaik

🥹

[grizzled glacier]

thankfully the alumni connections and culture is still really strong

[grizzled glacier]

u got it

i was the first one in my school in like 10 years

[stiff hornet]

should I try to walk on football at Denison

[muted cloud]

I doubt there's any from mine either lol

Middle of bum fuck nowhere

[stiff hornet]

rip

that’s our

lit

[grizzled glacier]

Also if u wanna join a team for the better connections walk onto crew

[languid coral]

omg literally everyone is on crew

[muted cloud]

I mean that or do club if they have it

[upper glade]

do you get a letterman jacket for that

[stiff hornet]

bro this shit is all Williams

[upper glade]

omg

[grizzled glacier]

i feel like they're the chillest team

love them

[stiff hornet]

Nah Williams football is tuff

[upper glade]

im gonna walk on to the football team if I end up in a NESCAC school

kicker or smth

[stiff hornet]

deadass?

do u play

[upper glade]

no

[grizzled glacier]

really u can do that

[stiff hornet]

oh

I lowkey want to

[upper glade]

but I love watching it

so

[stiff hornet]

I’ve been on var four years

[upper glade]

I might try

like

[stiff hornet]

and played my whole life

I’m just too small

[upper glade]

I mean american football

[muted cloud]

At very least Amherst are historically their sons

[grizzled glacier]

email the coach once u get in asap to set it up

[upper glade]

oh yeah

[stiff hornet]

u think I should

I’m js way too skinny bro

[upper glade]

gotta train over the summer lol

and bulk a lil

[stiff hornet]

I’m a decent WR tho

[upper glade]

I checked the profiles of ppl and like

for the practice squad

ppl at my size play DB

[stiff hornet]

wdym the practice squad

what’s ur size

[grizzled glacier]

i feel like if uve been doing it for 4 yrs and u email the coach early u got it

[stiff hornet]

I’m a good db

[upper glade]

so I can be like 7th string safety or smth

[grizzled glacier]

it's just a really big time commitment

[stiff hornet]

I’m small asf

6 3 170

[upper glade]

6'3??

what did u play like

wr?

[muted cloud]

I mean Denison is D3 I assume

Not hating on D3 but I am saying it should be a little easier to get onto the team, especially at a smaller place

[upper glade]

isnt that enough for D3

[grizzled glacier]

idk much abt stats but have u checked the roster to see how you compare

[stiff hornet]

DB

[grizzled glacier]

https://ephsports.williams.edu/sports/football/roster

[stiff hornet]

sorry wrong reply

[muted cloud]

@stiff hornet do you have HUDL

[upper glade]

I'm 5'11 170 seen at least 1-2 DBs around my size on all NESCAC rosters

[stiff hornet]

yes I know ppl on Williams football

[stiff hornet]

yea but I never played in hs

we won the championship twice

[muted cloud]

Oohhhh

[stiff hornet]

and I was 150 when we played

[muted cloud]

So no film

[stiff hornet]

like I got in every game js never did much

[muted cloud]

Got it

[upper glade]

is it a hard sport to enter without any prev experience

[stiff hornet]

I have hustle film and tackling film

lmfao

[upper glade]

I did rugby and soccer tho

[stiff hornet]

nah lowk easier than a lot of others

imo

but I’ve been obsessed since I was a kid

so idk

[upper glade]

ohh

[stiff hornet]

my whole family went d1

so

[upper glade]

wow

[stiff hornet]

or high academic d3

they encourage me to play in college

[upper glade]

its a dream for me lol

[muted cloud]

I'd say just reach out to the coach and see wat happens

Having any film at all is better than none

[grizzled glacier]

^^

[muted cloud]

Hustle is still important

[upper glade]

hi coach im an asian intl kid with no playing experience can I walk on

[stiff hornet]

like I said my team was very good and I was the smallest on varsity

Denison is a good d3 tho

[stiff hornet]

I’m Asian too

[upper glade]

williams had a korean backup kicker before tho

I can continue his legacy

[stiff hornet]

headtop

[upper glade]

fire

[stiff hornet]

but I only played like 5 min a game

ok ngl maybe he’s d3

[upper glade]

what state ru at?

NE?

*new england not nebraska

bro im tripping is this autocorrect or me

[stiff hornet]

dm

[muted cloud]

i mean asian is only an issue if the measureables arent there

which biologically speaking

[stiff hornet]

haha

I’m a 6 3 Filipino

isn’t that crazy

[muted cloud]

is more likely with an asian kid typically lol

[stiff hornet]

but I’m wasian

[muted cloud]

not being racist just being

[bleak needle]

hi

[upper glade]

im in the philippines rn lol

[muted cloud]

factual

[upper glade]

pu

[stiff hornet]

hell no

my dad is whitewashed

he never wanna go back

[muted cloud]

again at really small D3 programs it isnt really a given that you wouldnt be able to walk on

[upper glade]

LMAO

[muted cloud]

doesnt hurt to ask

maybe sell yourself a little

D3 doesnt even do scholarship so like

[bleak needle]

i lowk should have applied to harvey mudd

wish i did

[upper glade]

are spots usually filled alr by recruits or

[waxen lava]

amherst plz

[muted cloud]

not necessarily

again

doesnt hurt to ask

lol

[upper glade]

like theres no preferred walkon or anything right

[stiff hornet]

depends on school I bet

[upper glade]

shouldve done track or smth

[stiff hornet]

talked to a tufts dude he said they do walk on

I should’ve never stopped doing lax

[muted cloud]

where all have you got in anyway

im fried if I wanna do football

[upper glade]

do you know that guy tufts to SC transfer

[bleak needle]

at CMC half the people attending are athetletse

[muted cloud]

no way in hell im walking on at URich

[stiff hornet]

yh and uChi

he raw

[bleak needle]

according to my friend who is going

[stiff hornet]

yea my cousin js graduated

[upper glade]

USC knows d3 ball lmfao

[stiff hornet]

haha

my unc played at usx

I think

[upper glade]

dayum

[stiff hornet]

or got recruited

the problem is I’m the most intelligent and the smallest

[muted cloud]

D3 has some ballers

[stiff hornet]

not a great mix for football

the rest went to amazing schools for football

not rlly that smart

[upper glade]

is 6'3 considered small in football

[muted cloud]

theres 3 divisions

oh

no?

[upper glade]

typo

[muted cloud]

depends on the position

[upper glade]

ah

[muted cloud]

small for a lineman at least at the pro level

[bleak needle]

d3 baseball, lacrosse are all comp

normally

[upper glade]

like isnt that massive for a DB bro

[waxen lava]

is amherst in a rural area

[upper glade]

or is it weight for u @stiff hornet

my perception is ruined by like diego pavia

[muted cloud]

thats a good size for a DB, TE, or like X-type WR

most slot guys are shorter

[upper glade]

yuh

[stiff hornet]

weight

I was playing at 155

[muted cloud]

its weight

yeah thats

[stiff hornet]

my prime football I was 6 1 140

[muted cloud]

get on that dirty bulk buddy

put metabolism to use

[stiff hornet]

when I started I was 5 5 90 pounds

in 8th

[upper glade]

wow

I need some growth tips gng

😭

[stiff hornet]

haha

idk

have tall parents

[upper glade]

share me some genomes idk

I prolly would've gained an inch if I didnt lock in jr year and slept well

lmfao

[stiff hornet]

I wasn’t even that tall
My whole life

[bleak needle]

dude im so good at football

[stiff hornet]

I can lowkey hoop

[bleak needle]

(kidding)

they call me hunter renfrow the way I play the slot

[muted cloud]

goated pfp though

[upper glade]

A2C pro bowl

plz

[bleak needle]

yea thats my goat (hawks fan)

[muted cloud]

Im not a Seahawks fan but that celly is so dope (NFL needs to unban it RIGHT NOW)

[upper glade]

I think abt this often

[astral knot]

hopefully not atlanta

[muted cloud]

then again its because someone broke the goalposts doing that

[bleak needle]

i think about winning a super bowl often

[upper glade]

did a lineman hang on it or smth

[upper glade]

next year trust

[stiff hornet]

my boy @astral knot the rawest d3 hooper here omm

[muted cloud]

I think about this often ✌️

[astral knot]

ong

[upper glade]

well deserved

[bleak needle]

we will see

[muted cloud]

I lwk fw lions though

[bleak needle]

i think the NFC west will represent the NFC in the superbowl for the next 3-4 years

[upper glade]

SF maybe

[muted cloud]

I don't think Rams as a roster have much longevity unless they use their draft capital correctly

[upper glade]

oh shit yeah

rams sf hawks

[muted cloud]

I like that young Seahawks defense

[upper glade]

holy fuck

[bleak needle]

i think it could be LA or Seattle this year, and then the year after probably seattle or SF

rams only shot is this year

then stafford goes bye bye, pay puka, davante getting old

[upper glade]

I hope detroit drafts haynes king day 3 or smth

my fav cfb qb

[muted cloud]

You all will regress a little whenever you have to pay your young defensive guys

[bleak needle]

i wrote about haynes king in an essay

[upper glade]

LMAO

[astral knot]

sf?

u sure abt that

[upper glade]

he might make like a good

[stiff hornet]

I’m a d3 devon Witherspoon

[muted cloud]

He's underrated but I mean this fully sincerely he wouldn't survive the NFL defensive reads

[upper glade]

taysom hill typa player

idk

[muted cloud]

Bro can't be a RB in the NFL

😭

[bleak needle]

i think like in 2-3 years

[astral knot]

u aint d3 anything

[bleak needle]

right now no

[cyan moss]

thats insane

[upper glade]

but

[stiff hornet]

How impossible is it to gain 5lbs muscle by April 20

[upper glade]

bowdoin had like a 20% AR back in 2000s

[upper glade]

depends on what u use

[foggy cape]

very possible

[muted cloud]

T20 doesn't equal better fit or even better programs depending on what you're going for

[foggy cape]

well

not very

[astral knot]

[muted cloud]

That's the biggest misconception I want to squash to badly

My counselor told me Pomona ppl are all ivy ppl

[cyan moss]

my school has a kid whose going around every breaktime

[astral knot]

[foggy cape]

Exactly that’s what i mean

[astral knot]

yeah ur counselor is right

[cyan moss]

[astral knot]

the ppl ik at pomona chose it over schools like uchicago and dartmouth

[upper glade]

fair

[cyan moss]

what about bowdoin swarthmore and williams

[foggy cape]

same

[astral knot]

not everyone's a prestige whore

[muted cloud]

literally any top selective LAC is going to be from the same pool of kids lol

[astral knot]

sorry

[glass hornet]

He had like a pep talk with me that my 3.65 gpa will not get in Pomona lmao

[cyan moss]

i am the biggest prestige whore

[glass hornet]

💔💔💔he thought he broke my heart

[cyan moss]

what do i tell my asian parents and friends

[loud helm]

who

[astral knot]

@rapid creek didnt you pick pomona over cal

[stiff hornet]

Hennything is possible

[bleak needle]

i would apply to LACs, but i dont feel like going to high school again

[stiff hornet]

also u got into Florida

[astral knot]

i had to deal with this too it's not that serious

their perception isn't gonna change what u do in the future

[cyan moss]

hey but what do i tell myself

[stiff hornet]

U Asian larping?

[cyan moss]

im an asian too

[astral knot]

tf u mean

[muted cloud]

my high school was 500 kids, LAC is a huge jump for me still lol

[astral knot]

good luck getting into a t5 lac

???

[cyan moss]

and i was brainwashed from the start

[astral knot]

if u get in it's a big deal

ur assuming u can get in

[foggy cape]

pomona has a better reputation than basically every not t10

[glass hornet]

Idk man. It’s rlly hard to rank LAC prestige

I should’ve apply tho but it’s too late

[muted cloud]

crazy take I feel like more people recognize swat than williams or amherst

[loud helm]

lacs are heavy on fit but still very selective

[bleak needle]

ive heard the best LAC is like williams?

then maybe amherst pomona or something

[astral knot]

rly?

[upper glade]

its js WASP + occasionally midd/bowdoin/cmc on the very top

[astral knot]

it's consistently ranked top fs

[muted cloud]

i might be biased because I lived in Pennsylvania for a time

[upper glade]

and the typical high-NESCACS

etc etc

[astral knot]

the difference between top lacs are negligible icl

if all of them were in cali id have a hard time picking

[glass hornet]

Is CMC the finance bro school

Or is that HMC

[bleak needle]

i feel like regardless its a great education

[foggy cape]

yeah

[bleak needle]

PPE

[upper glade]

it was like THE consensus #1 in the 80s or smth

[astral knot]

yea fs

[upper glade]

basically a mini UChi

[astral knot]

i asked the williams AO what set them apart from other lacs

and she said there's more similarity than difference

[upper glade]

their intl aid is shit tho

pfft

[muted cloud]

I'd say its better to look into specific programs and career opportunities (something LACs emphasize a lot) as opposed to comparing prestige

[rocky pelican]

@loud helm my vassar interviewer emailed me at 4 am and sent me an article that reminded her of me🥹

[bleak needle]

my school has like 5 people going to CMC

[cyan moss]

my dumbass shouldve applied to cmc

[bleak needle]

including one of my good friends

[keen granite]

yes but their all good at different things so it rlly depends on ur major and interests fr

[glass hornet]

I always wonder why is military academy on the LAC ranking

[astral knot]

yea fs it's all about what route you're going for

[loud helm]

THIS IS WO CUTE U R VASSAR BOUND

[astral knot]

bc it's only undergrad education apparently

[glass hornet]

Ur fine, CMC is full of finance bros

[astral knot]

bro ur getting in

[upper glade]

how abt wes/williams then

[muted cloud]

omg they can join the skinner shitter

[astral knot]

wdym

[bleak needle]

and recruited athletes

[astral knot]

they r also undergrad education only

[rocky pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/pink-panthress-grammys-dah-bah-pink-panthress-grammys-gif-1606960577036515293

[upper glade]

[astral knot]

WAHT

[cyan moss]

[astral knot]

🤯

[upper glade]

idk its weird

[muted cloud]

THE SKINNER SHITTER

[loud helm]

ITS LIKE 5 DAYD RIGHT

[astral knot]

if ur asian parents ask just show them the starting salary from cmc

[muted cloud]

YEAHH

[bleak needle]

are LACsgenerally be better for grad school prep than industry

[rocky pelican]

????????

[astral knot]

yea fs

[rocky pelican]

Oh my god

[glass hornet]

Yes

[cyan moss]

nono they dont care about salaries

they only care about prestige

[astral knot]

i plan on going to med school

[rocky pelican]

YES..

[upper glade]

depends

[cyan moss]

major doesnt matter either

[astral knot]

wow very typical

[cyan moss]

only prestige

[keen granite]

i know wesleyan offers grad programs

[astral knot]

??

[upper glade]

like williams/amherst/cmc is known to be pretty pre-prof

[astral knot]

yea i did not know that

[glass hornet]

My Chinese relatives are calling all LACs community college

[bleak needle]

ive applied to schools with good brand name, not prestige 💀

[cyan moss]

lmaooooo

[glass hornet]

Let’s change this megathread name to “ALL COMMUNITY COLLEGES”

[upper glade]

if you want rankings js go to imperial or smth

[cyan moss]

my homeroom teacher calls it wenlidaxue

[astral knot]

??

[muted cloud]

That's the only thing I think of when I think about Vassar

[astral knot]

^

[foggy cape]

wesleyan and williams are some of the few SLACs that offer grad programs, but since they’re still heavily undergrad focused they’re still considered LACs

[keen granite]

most of the funding they get from the grad programs gets put into pre grad so ur prolly better off going somewhere else tho but take my word with a grain of salt

[muted cloud]

Blame @sinful totem

[astral knot]

interesting

[glass hornet]

Nah it’s YeJiDaXue

[astral knot]

they won't be saying that once ur off making bank after lac education

[stiff hornet]

facts no printer no cap

[upper glade]

I could lowk convince my parents into believing that any school is ivy level

[cyan moss]

maybe its dajidaxue

[upper glade]

like

I told them what ND is

and my dad thinks its an ivy now

[astral knot]

imo the top lacs are equivalent to the lower ivies

esp cornell

sorry cornell

[ebon mist]

Same 🤣

[upper glade]

I think WASP is hard as if not harder than like columbia

[keen granite]

i know that feeling, one of my friends got into NYU while i got into wesleyan and even tho their considered on the same level in terms of prestige he gets a lot more attention 💔

[stiff hornet]

it’s chill

Wesleyan is sick!

[rocky pelican]

corn*ll

[glass hornet]

I scammed my parents to believe NEU is an ivy cuz of that 5.2 AR

[upper glade]

Cornell depends on colleges like

[cyan moss]

💀

[astral knot]

L cornell

r u still waiting on ur decision

[ebon mist]

Xd

[rocky pelican]

yea

https://tenor.com/view/ethel-cain-dancing-ethel-cain-paidmoie-preachers-daughter-gif-12570703160021937894

[astral knot]

best of luck

[cyan moss]

why is it so low tho

[glass hornet]

NYU is too much hype

[stiff hornet]

How clueless r yall parents college wise

[keen granite]

yes from what i researched i absolutely love wesleyan but like the (forgive me for this term) aura from getting into a good college would be nice to experience

[astral knot]

they artificially decrease it

[rocky pelican]

tyy 💋

[astral knot]

i think they only count people admitted to their boston camps

as admits

[upper glade]

oh

lol

chud school

[astral knot]

fact check tho that's js what i heard

[upper glade]

their tiktoks annoy me

sm

omfg

[astral knot]

they make tiktoks???

[keen granite]

yea i’ve heard that a lot i only like it cuz like it’s an hour from my house

[upper glade]

like yall can't be throwing heat at UDub

[upper glade]

yes

[astral knot]

ya ny carries a lot

but it genuinely has some good programs

[keen granite]

so is columbia but like i know my limits and getting into that school is unrealistic for me

[upper glade]

gallatin

liberal studies

lol

[keen granite]

• apparently columbia is like going through some stuff rn idek

[upper glade]

I wouldve done that if I was rich lowk

[glass hornet]

They love full paid kids and I m too broke for that 100k COA

[twin rain]

Mine didn’t even know what an Lac was and that I applied

[stiff hornet]

yo Wesleyan person did u ed

[stiff hornet]

which lac

[keen granite]

yea i heard it’s made of a bunch of international rich kids

[keen granite]

yes

[astral knot]

my parents rly wanted me to go to lac

they thought either hypsm or lac

[upper glade]

wow

[twin rain]

I applied 2 yrs ago but I di Williams, Amherst and Wellesley

[glass hornet]

I m not dropping 400k on a communication degree at NYU💔

[stiff hornet]

sick

[bleak needle]

im full pay but i didnt apply to many private schools

[muted cloud]

the only thing I think of when I think of wasp is anglo-saxon

what is wasp blud

[keen granite]

😭😭

[twin rain]

Yeah Wellesley flew me out it was cool asf

[upper glade]

williams amherst swarthmore pomona

[astral knot]

to them lacs were a better fit for me than anything below hypsm

[upper glade]

HYPS equiv of LACs lol

[upper glade]

icic

[bleak needle]

isnt brown basically an lac

[upper glade]

y & p is basically LACs too so

[keen granite]

bro it’s crazy to me how good massachusetts education is

[muted cloud]

not really?

[astral knot]

i rea'd to yale

[glass hornet]

The coolest LAC must be Deep Spring

[bleak needle]

oh ok

[upper glade]

ed2 pomona?

[keen granite]

like their really a step above everyone else it’s insane

[astral knot]

naww they have so many grad programs

[glass hornet]

idk if they even count as an LAC

[astral knot]

yup

[muted cloud]

mass needs SOMETHING to brag about

[upper glade]

you're the only person I know that got in then lmfao

[twin rain]

We did an AMA a few years ago w them

[upper glade]

deep springs?

[stiff hornet]

gng I was playing rocket league and it was ot and I redirected the opponents bad touch into my own goal

😭

[upper glade]

they're a juco tho

HYPS pipeline juco

lmfao

[muted cloud]

I mean the open curriculum is liberal arts-esk and they have a lot of the same elements but they arent considered one

[keen granite]

mass is great tho i’m not even from there but their #1 in education, HDI, have boston, their sick

[glass hornet]

I wonder did any a2cer get into deep spring

[stiff hornet]

what’s deep springs

[keen granite]

but their also the most expensive state in the US iirc so like yk

[glass hornet]

Letme look that up

[keen granite]

new jersey might be #1 in education actually but mass is top 2

[muted cloud]

cal is probably up there for best education too

[twin rain]

No

It’s not

[upper glade]

2 year comm college at nevada or smth u live in a commune learn how to farm n butcher and transfer to a t10

its all free and

[twin rain]

Ca

[upper glade]

like only 26 ppl per year

[twin rain]

It’s in ca

[muted cloud]

With how much glaze the UCs and Stanford get?

[upper glade]

its in the border no?

[twin rain]

Google our ranking

[keen granite]

honestly i have no clue but your probably right i just don’t know much about west coast

[astral knot]

idts

[twin rain]

Also ucs suck

[astral knot]

are any large publics great for education?

[twin rain]

No

[upper glade]

ASU

Alabama

[astral knot]

yea

[upper glade]

LSU

[astral knot]

what if ur in state

[twin rain]

If u can afford an lac or get a full ride run to one

[twin rain]

Still suck

[keen granite]

i’ll speak on what i know: Stonybrook is good for bio/medicine my brother goes there

[twin rain]

You just pay less

[astral knot]

^

[upper glade]

georgia has nice public schools

[twin rain]

And no one asks where ur school is

[muted cloud]

I wonder if this takes into account accessibility

[astral knot]

ik someone at stonybrook bsmd its so fried

[upper glade]

like GT is prolly the best ROI public uni there is

[astral knot]

isn't it hella hard to get into

[muted cloud]

Because yeah California's system sucks balls for accessibility

[twin rain]

Bsmd yes

[keen granite]

wait really? 💔

[astral knot]

true dat

[keen granite]

my brother goes to stony but he doesn’t do bsmd so i didn’t know it was selective

[astral knot]

ya it's rly comp

[twin rain]

It’s just name and cheaper

[twin rain]

It’s very selective

[astral knot]

apparently it's like 3%

[twin rain]

Any Bsmd is

[astral knot]

as all good bsmd programs are

[keen granite]

oh okay my mistake

[twin rain]

There’s not really bad bsmds

[muted cloud]

yeah this has to be acessibility based if WYOMING is number 2

[keen granite]

welp checks out cuz from what i know it’s a very strong program

[astral knot]

agreed

bad phrasing on my end

[twin rain]

Yeah I can believe

I will say public schools give you a lot of life skills

[upper glade]

can't believe this is a real state as a noncitizen

like the only thing I know abt wyoming is josh allen

[astral knot]

dont they hvae like 1m residents

😭

[twin rain]

That you won’t otherwise develop until like in the job market and stuff

[muted cloud]

REAL

[astral knot]

ya i feel like u get coddled in lacs

but im going for med school so it'd be much easier

[twin rain]

Yeah 100%

[astral knot]

i would rather get coddled than fight for my life

[twin rain]

Nah

[upper glade]

nice bubble tho

[twin rain]

Character gets built

[rancid flax]

like brown for instance only has 60 incoming bsmd for their entire class

[astral knot]

ive had enough of ts in my hs

[muted cloud]

Hands on experience feels less coddling to me than sitting in lecture halls

[upper glade]

my friend at binghampton is lowk suicidal bc of his roomies

[muted cloud]

maybe thats me though

[rancid flax]

or ig it’s their plme whatever

[twin rain]

Had I gone to like an lac idt I’d be as skilled of a person rn

[astral knot]

i made the mistake of going to an ultra competitive hs

and im sick of it

[twin rain]

Unfortunate

I think competition is a mental thing

Idt it’s real

[keen granite]

can you give me examples of how so (i’m not disagreeing ur 100% right but like just to inform myself)

[astral knot]

it's real in the sense that ur competing for resources

[crisp coyote]

you want to be coddled and then go... to med school

[upper glade]

did you go to a UC

[twin rain]

My school is known as one of the most comp ones and I don’t feel it

[astral knot]

yup

[twin rain]

That’s how you develop skills

[twin rain]

Yessir

[crisp coyote]

you're in for a rude awakening

[crisp coyote]

guess where people also compete for resources

(real life)

[astral knot]

of course

[muted cloud]

in terms of class rank blah blah blah it makes it harder to reflect a good track record in comparison with your peers
