[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to agree with others. I never heard of Carleton. I know zero about it.  Going to two Ivies, and in 30 years working in DC, I've met graduates of the three others. But never Carleton. [/quote]

I’m shocked you don’t know about Carleton. It’s a very strong  school filled with very high-achieving yet quirky kids.  Great education.[/quote]

+1 also shocked. Carleton grads get a lot of PhDs. And show up in abundance everywhere that PhDs are common.

I guess you can be shocked,  but I'm just reporting my own experience. I know lots and lots of people in dc, particularly in the policy/ political/ foreign policy world,  and can't recall ever coming across a Carleton grad-- and I do a fair amount of hiring,  especially over the past decade. I have nothing against the school,  just saying that I know zip about it,  while knowing lots about other top slacs.[/quote]

You don’t know much about “top slacs” if you’re not familiar with Carleton. Top med and law school feeder plus very high percentage of kids go on to top PhD programs. Family member finishing up CS PhD in elite program; many classmates doing the same (in various fields, including math, physics and CS).[/quote]
