<p>Great articulation Mark, even if it’s laden with a tinge of insecurity.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, much to your displeasure, I have no vendetta against the top LACs as is supported by my earlier statement in this thread:</p>
<p>“Colgate is not on the level of Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Hopkins, etc. Williams’s faculty members have gone to Harvard, Yale, etc. for Ph.Ds - so no surprise their graduates place well.”</p>
<p>I’m sure Colgate provides a great education, but we’re arguing graduate school placement here - which cannot be finalized within the vacuum of discourse that is this thread. In the end, the OP can’t go wrong here</p>
