To me, Harvey Mudd is usually underrated being left off the top 10 LAC list in terms of its student selectivity and product. I am not so sure how its humanities affect its LAC rating.
Mudd just isn't a pure LAC. It doesn't fit well in either of the two main categories (LAC or University). For this reason it gets screwed in rankings and is ranked lower than it should be. I don't think many informed people really believe that schools like CMC are better institutions than Mudd. They might be better LACs, but that's just because Mudd really isn't a pure LAC.
