<p>Neal-- I think your question is a good one, albeit full-fledged universities are different than LACs, obviously. But if you want to compare some aspect, it can be done. Here’s my (perhaps imperfect) attempt at merging the two lists on the US News ‘selectivity’ criterion:

<p>One can also take some other (imperfect) measure, like the US News-reported peer score (highly contentious) or class size data if that’s what is important to you.</p>
