@CrewDad, most of the top-20 LAC’s are listed in posting #28 so I think it correlates well. Not certain why Bowdoin and Smith were omitted as I would have thought they would have each been $30k+ per student. Service Academies aren’t included which makes sense - not certain why they are listed as LAC’s by USNWR.

For me, per student spending and endowment provide insight that isn’t readily distinguishable when evaluating USNWR rankings given they still heavily weight peer/HS GC evaluations and institution driven acceptance rates as compared to student outcomes and student testing profiles
