Lol. The College Comfidential (CC) lingo can sometime be indiscernible to the new CCer. LAC means liberal arts college and some top LACs --such as Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, have a typical type applicant “stat” (in my opinion, top 95% or above on SAT or ACT and top 10%gpa with all honors and AP courses) that are equal to HYPSM for unhooked (i.e., not an Unrepresented minority (URM), not a recruited athlete, not a legacy or development (large donor) applicant).
