[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sigh. Amherst students, for instance, get all the science research they need if they want to go to grad school. They have no problems at all getting into such programs or to med school, for that matter. Not that “going to grad school for a science Ph.D.” is the end all be all, but per capita science Ph.Ds from top SLACs is very high.

Here’s Ph.Ds in say, biology, adjusted for class size (right column).

What a surprise! SLACs dominate the list! This anti-SLAC argument is a canard. Moving on…[/quote]
Not at Amherst though. Much of that research is done at other research universities, which is why I find it dumb when lac parents rag on research institutions. If you’re getting published or are doing serious undergraduate research netting you admission into top programs from a lac, you typically did an REU or worked with professors at other institutions. I say this as an lac parent that people need to let down the defenses and stop acting as if research doesn’t matter.[/quote]
