Just a side note for others who have a kid wanting an excellent LAC experience but not a $70k price tag - Schools like Rhodes, Centre, Trinity U and Denison provide very similar experiences for half the cost for high stats kids. A high stats kid would likely pay $30k or less for a pretty equivalent education at these schools. The idea that one must pay $70k to receive a high quality LAC education is a total myth.

Also see Kiplinger’s Best College Values, which ranks Centre ahead of Midd. and Carleton, for example, and Rhodes above Bucknell, Dickinson, and Oberlin.
When D1 was looking 4 years ago, we were full-pay, and understood that she could get an excellent LAC education for half price with her (not even super high) stats. She has in fact received an amazing education on a beautiful campus with small classes, excellent professors, tons of amenities and a top-ten ranked career services office. For $120k total. Talk about ROI!
