circuitrider - thanks again for the info and clarification.
ucbalumnus - great point… that would be really instructive to see as well. These schools are intended as a short list of most of the top LACs located basically East of the Mississippi. As such, my assumption is that even areas of comparable weakness in a given field of study at one of these schools will still be, at the least, respectable compared with selective colleges by and large. But, to ucbalum’s point, it would be informative to identify weaker programs of study at each of these schools… “Weaker” by comparison with the other peer top LAC’s anyway. Would appreciate any thoughts on this… Looking for best and least programs of study at each school:
Amherst
Bowdoin
Bucknell
Carleton
Davidson
Haverford
Holy Cross
Lafayette
Middlebury
Swarthmore
Washington & Lee
Wesleyan
Williams
Also adding:
Hamilton
Colby
Bates
Trinity (CT)
