<p>Name all the ones you can think of. (but they have to be elite and great!)</p>
<p>shoot!</p>
<p>Williams, Pomona, Swarthmore, Amherst are among the most prestigious</p>
<p>most are pretty much listed under the cc top liberal arts colleges section. one that isn’t however is Bard college.</p>
<p>vassar, bowdoin, claremont mckenna</p>
<p>williams, amherst, middlebury, bowdoin, swarthmore, haverford, smith, pomona…</p>
<p>There’s a million more, I would check under CC Top Liberal Arts Colleges, many are listed there. </p>
<p>Good Luck! :)</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke? (They are to me, I’m not sure about anyone else.) Feedback?</p>
<p>Reed.</p>
<p>10char.</p>
<p>Does Tufts fall under that category?</p>
<p>williams, amherst, & swarth come to mind.</p>
<p>Are you kidding me? Everyone is going to tell you exactly what US News rankings says. High achieving HS students follow the pack.</p>
<p>It reminds me of several years ago, after college, I worked at a very exclusive 5th Ave. NYC jewelry store. I noticed that all of the customers had the same jewelry, carried the same pocketbooks (handbags to folks not in NY), wore very similar clothes. I said to my friends, " They can be so individual, why are the all so the same?</p>
<p>I was naive. I thought money freed you. As I aged I learned, we all want to belong and fit in. We all follow what is in (“in” being usually according to others).</p>
<p>Knox, Beloit, Lawrence, Kalamazoo, Earlham and St. Olaf</p>
<p>Chances are you have never heard of them and will not take the time to really look past the fact that they are not “US News top 20 LACs” and they all <em>gasp</em> accept more then 50% of their applicants</p>
<p>most are mentioned, but I’ll add Wellesley</p>
<p>Barnard, especially if you consider its partnership with Columbia * degree says Columbia</p>
<p>The big Three USE to be Amherst, Williams, Wesleyan.</p>
<p>More recently, this has expanded to:</p>
<p>Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, Wesleyan, Vassar, Wellesley, Barnard, Pomona, and Bowdoin, though there are quite a few others that are great and prestigious in certain parts of the country.</p>
<p>is Connecticut College in this category?</p>

<p>I wonder if people should be offering advice about matters they know not too much about…</p>
<p>Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Wellesley</p>
<p>I think the ones listed in CC are the ones that recieve the most visits not neceesarily that they have been “rated”. If you look at the list of top universities there are quite a few missing that would normally make it on lists</p>
<p>You will find the correlation between “elite” and “great” to tenuous at best.</p>
