Does Colorado College have a bad reputation?
Today I told my mom that I wanted to look at Colorado College as my top choice school, but she immediately put me down and said it had a reputation as a school for "rich flunkies who couldn't get in anywhere better." Is this true? I was attracted to the college for the block plan, beautiful location, and generally hearing good things about the education and people. I take AP and honors classes with about a 3.5 gpa and have a love of the outdoors so I thought it would be a good fit.

Outside of Colorado, I don't think it has any reputation. It is certainly not a well known or nationally recognized University so I would say it doesn't have any reputation, good or bad. Sorry.

Your mother is flat wrong on this issue. Colorado College is one of the finest schools in the USA and you could get an excellent education there. It is expensive. They accept about 25% of applicants - very competitive. Grads go on to all of the finest graduate programs - Yale, Stanford, Columbia, Princeton, etc. US News rates it as 24th nationally among liberal arts colleges.
