Ranking LACs by placements.

There's not much information about LACs on WSO.


Ranking top LACs in the country based on pure placement to help those trying to decide on college choices.

Feel free to drop your own thoughts and please let me know if I've messed anything up!


Targets:

-Amherst

-Williams

-Middlebury(just slightly lesser so than A/W but still has an extremely strong reputation)



Semi-Targets:

-Bowdoin 

-Pomona (Only west coast, weak representation in NY)

-CMC (Very good placement, but limited to the West Coast)

  • Swarthmore

-Wesleyan


Big gap


Non-Targets but still recognizable:


-Hamilton

-Colgate

-Colby

-Bates

-Wellesley



Let me know if I should add any others or move anything down!
