[quote=Anonymous]This thread is way off the rails.

OP, I have an undergrad from S and a PhD from H in a physical science. I would say I did it in the right order (as would a friend from HS who did the opposite)...but H still offers very strong undergrad courses and opportunities for those who want them.

Regardless, though, your question is about LACs. And I would say it depends on the LACs. My Harvard department was fed from the usual suspects in terms of Ivies and elite universities as well as what, to me, was a usual suspect set of LACs: Middlebury, Swarthmore, Amherst, Claremont colleges, sisters colleges. Probably the most non-obvious was Wesleyan, but I would say hardly non-obvious. There are a couple of other excellent for STEM LACs that I would say have comparable education to elite universities, but I can't remember their names right now. Two of my closest grad school friends went to Middlebury and Wesleyan, and they both had excellent preparation for grad school at Harvard.[/quote]
