I did not make a sweeping statement, and did not say Washington and Lee did not attract good students. It does. Though in terms of quality places like Vanderbilt and Duke beat the entering stats of W&L by a wide margin in terms of SAT/ACT, etc. and their students are accomplished too. Almost all of the Ivies do too, plus Williams, Amherst and Swarthmore. For the student who gets a lot of money from a Johnson who does not qualify for complete aid at an Ivy it makes some sense. I am simply saying that there are not that many students who choose it over those schools if the money is the same. I felt like a spy but I managed to see the average stats of Johnson’s when I was in Lexington. BBDark, your D beats them by a wide margin. There are agendas on every college campus.
