There is no doubt that the location, and thus lower familiarity of Carleton to the more populated parts of the country, is the main driver behind why it might be a little “easier” to get in to Carleton than comparable quality east coast schools. If Carletin was in the Northeast it would be right up there with Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Middlebury, and Bowdion in terms of selectivity - and probably somewhere right in the middle of that group. Carleton is a great school - among the best - don’t let any stats suggest otherwise.
