Top Liberal Arts College for IB?

How good are top liberal arts colleges for IB recruiting? Currently at a decent state school but may consider transferring to a top 10 LAC. Any thoughts or recruiting experiences would be appreciated. Thank you.

Network and get a good GPA. You should have a decent number of interviews if the school is top 10 and come across as polished and show interest in IB

 

Which schools are the best represented? At an EB, no lac grads in my class or the next class

 

ex nescac here, get good grades, study for interviews, reach out to alumni and the rest will all fall into place

 

Middlebury at least. Especially for GS. Potentially MS too if Pick makes CEO. Hamilton has DJ Sol. Know a good amount of Wesleyan at MS. I personally haven’t seen as many Williams / Amherst but they’re the top 2 LAC schools and I’m sure they crush it.

 

Hamilton Williams Colgate bucknell. These all get those boarding school kids. I’ll add wake forest has amazing placement and should be considered the highest semi target (above vandy emory usc, higher than BC)
