<p>I agree with edad's assessment of Bard College--soon, I imagine that it'll move into the top 15 LACs (if it submits data to USNews, hehe.) The president at Bard is amazing.</p>

<p>George Mason U- Not only because it made the final 4- but a solid public U outside of DC. Very nice campus- great internship possibilities and finally more OOS kids are giving it a 2nd look. School still has a "commuter" reputation, but I think that will soon be changing.
Nice campus- Reasonable tuition- & near DC. A winning combo-
For any political junkies- Hard Ball (chris mathews) will be at the GMU campus next week interviewing Robert DeNiro and Matt Damon about the new movie on the CIA.--</p>

<p>Holy Cross...huge increase in applicants
Grinnell...large increase in applicants
Reed...ranking finally catching up with reality
Knox...lower acceptance rates
Lawrence...larger application pool, significantly lower acceptance rates
Beloit...more applicants
Denison...large endowment, more applicants, plunging acceptance rates
Pitzer...more applicants, higher scores, lower acceptance rates
Rhodes...an increase in applicants
Centre...large bump in applicants
URichmond...lowering student/faculty ratio, large endowment, more apps</p>

<p>There are other reasons as well...but that would take days to list.</p>

<p>The College of Charleston is slowly but surely improving...</p>

<p>University of Florida</p>

<p>University of Georgia</p>

<p>UTexas/Texas A & M - Provided that they get rid of the top 10% law</p>

<p>Agree Holy Cross seems to get more popular-maybe because it is one of the few top30 LAC's near a good city(Boston) and has good mix of academics/athletics. Also USC and Notre Dame-athletic success. Davidson-great LAC in the Sunbelt. UChicago-deserved ranking by US News.</p>

<p>I do believe that Occidental is beginning to get a lot of attention from the west coast...</p>
