@Chembiodad

most of the top-20 LAC’s are listed in posting #28

I believe you meant post # 18, which is where I got the data that I used in post #26.

This isn’t difficult. My point is that Amherst, Vassar, Davidson, Middlebury, Colby, Colgate, etc spend significantly less per student than # 1 Williams yet still ranked from # 2 to # 12 in US News. Only Pomona, Wellesley, Washington and Lee and Williams spent more per student that Hamilton, yet Hamilton ranked # 18. In other words, spending more per student doesn’t always correlate with a higher ranking, perceived prestige, etc. It’s not a big deal
