Yes, TOP LACs have no trouble attracting high stats kids. I wouldn’t call Chapman a TOP LAC. I was just talking about Chapman.

Anyway…my point is that at schools like Chapman (where they give merit for high stats), you’re not likely going to find high stats kids across all majors. At schools like this, you’re going to find high stats kids largely concentrated amongst several majors…math, bio, chem, physics (and engineering if the school has those majors).

I see this all the time at flagships that are buying high stats kids and NMFs. These kids are largely concentrated in about 5 -10 majors. That’s why a prospective student can’t just look at the campus-wide stats and get a real feel for what kind of students are going to be his/her classmates within a major.
