<p>LACs are at an obvious disadvantage here. Less people know of them/attend than the larger universities. No wonder Berkeley and NU is winning. WASHU ahead of Swarthmore and Amherst? Of course that’s the point of the thread but the results are skewed somewhat.</p>

<p>Actually, the results are more skewed toward colleges that people think about more. Places that people dislike get voted off faster, hence Harvard’s early dismissal, etc. Places that people don’t really think about, like Bowdoin, lasted a lot longer than they otherwise may have because people were focusing on schools they actively dislike, rather than finding the college they would least like to go to. </p>

<p>tl;dr Schools people actively hate are at a disadvantage, while smaller schools no one thinks about (LACs) slid under the radar for awhile.</p>
