<p>The top 10 LACs in alpha order are:
Amherst College (MA)
Bowdoin College (ME)
Carleton College (MN)
Claremont McKenna College (CA)
Haverford College ¶
Middlebury College (VT)
Pomona College (CA)
Swarthmore College ¶
Wellesley College (MA)
Williams College (MA) </p>

<p>So we know that Davidson has dropped out of the top ten and has been replaced with Claremont McKenna. Other than that, the top 10 remains the same.</p>

<p>The most interesting changes always take place between 13 and 25.</p>

<p>Sup bro?</p>

<p>Totally agreed–Amherst is the most alpha LAC.</p>

<p>It looks like the Claremont Colleges continue to move up, CMK knocked out Davidson College from the top 10.</p>

5

<p>Agree with xiggi. The top ten LACs rarely move more than one place (up or down), if at all.</p>

<p>Does someone have the 2011 rankings on hand so that we can make comparisons?</p>
