[edit] World's most selective colleges?
I don't look forward to the state of education when these colleges will be the shining examples of some nightmarish future. The only common thread I can find among these colleges is their expensive (and in fact over-inflated) price.
- Boston College (23 students)
- Boston University (19 students)
- Tufts University (13 students)
- George Washington University (12 students)
- Washington and Lee University (1 Student)

Honestly, even though I personally do not hold any of these as my top choice, to say that these colleges represent some kind of nightmare is terribly misinformed, espescially since the colleges listed really are competitive.
If you want to talk about price, they are definitley more exspensive than state colleges. There is nothing wrong with state colleges, but there is nothing wrong with private colleges. Please try to keep your comments more along facts than opinion, and please try to not be a dick in the future.
[edit] Alumni
Didn't John Cheever get expelled? shouldn't there be a note for that or something?
Yes, I believe it was for smoking on campus. It was also the subject of his short story, Expelled.
Hmm... but next to his label as an alumus, shouldn't there be a note that he was expelled?
