| ranking from a NYC Perspective
It's 2018.
You're a 27 year old in a fast-growing, midsized NYC company. You're hiring someone fresh out of college. BA in something. Liberal Arts. A dozen or so resumes come down to you from HR. What schools impress you most and least? Let's keep it simple. You really don't need more details than this.
Rank 'em based on being an East Coaster who isn't looking for engineering, medicine. etc. This is different than US New Rankings
Midd
Vassar
Cornell
Brandeis
Colgate
Ham
Bard
NYU
Oberlin
Kenyon
Skidmore
Rochester
Bucknell
Sarah Lawrence
Delaware Honors
McCauley Honors
Thanks!

well middlebury is on CC's top LAC list, so i'm assuming its pretty good
i guess most of us haven't heard of many of these because they're all tiny LACs.

Cornell first. I would say Colgate, Middlebury, NYU (unless its Stern, which I would put just behind Cornell), Macaulay Honors (Only Hunter and Baruch -- pretty hard to get into...harder than NYU in general actually. And from personal experience, some/many are definitely Ivy caliber) would all be second. The others are pretty much on the same level, next to NYU or just slightly below. In my opinion, NYU is a bit overrated and Macaulay Honors (baruch/hunter) is quite underrated.

Yeah, if it's Stern at NYU go ahead and put that right up there with Cornell (Stern > AEM, Cornell's business program).
EDIT: BTW, what is "Ham"? Is that Hamilton? If so, that's probably just below Colgate and Middlebury as far as LACs go.

You put Sarah Lawrence, Bucknell (remember, this isn't engineering!), and Oberlin above Middlebury? Geez!
