<p>Your are absolultely correct that there is not inconsistency between the numbers for ADMITTED students in past years and ADMITTED students this year. The inconsistency I THOUGHT I found was between the US News numbers and princetonreview.com numbers for actual MATRICULATING classes. That discrepancy in numbers is either between one year and the next or the same year. It’s not clear.</p>

<p>I don’t hate Connecticut College. I have had two children apply and be accepted there. In both cases, they chose other schools.</p>
<p>This topic was initially raised by you on another thread on another board (one involved with just exactly which US colleges could be classified as “elite”) in which you INSISTED that the 1390 number was for matriculating students. Then, you invited me over to THIS board to discuss the numbers. So, I am here at your invitation.</p>
<p>I don’t hate Conn at all, but I do hate duplicity. Right at the moment, I am tempted to think there is a high probability that CC’s admissions department is playing fast and loose with the numbers. That does not speak well of the moral character of Conn’s leadership. </p>
<p>I also have good reason to believe that YOU are playing fast and loose with the numbers until I see some evidence otherwise.</p>
