Just five schools in the NESCAC are able to say this
But only one is Amherst 
@Meddy,No doubt, All Academic NESCAC is quite an honor. But you said:
What is “this”?
I’m sure you realize that while the honor is conference-based, the number of athletes selected is determined entirely by the school. In terms of sheer numbers, four of the five schools that crested 100 awardees are four of the five largest (in terms of undergraduate enrollment) schools. I realize you’re proud of Amherst and I think you’re trying to make a point, I just don’t know what that point is…
I get @Meddy’s point. I’m not sure I get @oldchief78’s point though. 4 of the 5 schools on the list have the largest enrollments among NESCAC schools, but Amherst is one of the smallest NESCACs. I believe only 2 of the 11 schools in the conference are smaller. So that makes Amherst’s achievement all the more impressive.
You didn’t get my point because I didn’t have one. I was asking for elaboration. Since you “get it”, let me ask you what is “all the more impressive”?
My point is- Go Mammoths!
@oldchief78 Thanks for clarifying that you didn’t have a point. Since you pointed out that 4 of the 5 schools that had 100+ student/athletes making the cut were the larger schools, I found it impressive that one of the smallest NESCACS also had that distinction.
I take it you are in the Hamilton camp. Fabulous school! But just because they didn’t make the list this year, there’s no reason to belittle the schools that did.
@wisteria100 You are mistaken. I did not belittle any school that produced 100+ NESCAC All Academic honorees. I simply inquired as to the significance of producing at least 100. The number is arbitrary and the award itself is based upon a school’s individual grading. Comparing the number of awardees among the individual schools in the conference is truly an “apples to oranges” comparison.
