NESCAC Ranking for IB Placements

How would y'all rank the NESCACs in terms of how they place into IB? Pretty clear Williams and Amherst are the top 2, but what about the other NESCACs? I've heard a lot of conflicting information on how they perform

Current NESCAC student with tons of friends across the conference interning in IB. Would rank them as follows

Amherst, Williams

Midd

Bowdoin, Tufts

Wesleyan

Trinity, Hamilton, Colby

Bates

(Huge gap)

Conn

 

Conn college needs to be expelled from the league

I'd also say Trinity is slightly higher than Hamilton and Colby for IB but lower generally.

 

Midd had a phenomenal year for placement and has great OCR opportunities. However, the Amherst and Williams brand names are still stronger. Don't know how to quantify the gap, but if you are at Midd and prepare, you will be fine.

 

Very interesting. Mind sharing more about which firms conduct OCR at Midd? Strongly considering throwing in an ED/ED 2 app to Midd
