Which schools did you choose Wesleyan over?

<p>Well, as long as adults are playing, I found this on the Revealed Preference thread.Someone duplicated one of rankings from the Caroline Hoxby study: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1464313-no-they-didnt-one-more-new-ranking.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1464313-no-they-didnt-one-more-new-ranking.html&lt;/a&gt;
I believe this one is from 2006, but whatever reason, Wesleyan does well in all of the ones I’ve seen:
