[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many high SES minority families send their kids to Hardy? It's not about racism, it's about test scores.[/quote]

Which is how they might - in the worst of all possible worlds - end up no better than at a college like Williams, from which a degree may cost about $100K and yet still be 100% useless.  [/quote]

"I'd be thrilled if my kid got into Williams" - says Pomona College alum with friends who graduated from Bates, Swarthmore, etc.

BTW the lower your SES and the more difficult your background, especially for sought-after high test score, minorities, the more financial aid you get. Or were you being sarcastic. The worst of all possible worlds? [/quote]

Are there departments other than art, literature, and angry studies at any of the aforementioned schools?  Maybe something serious like engineering, pre-med/chemistry, or economics?  Earlier in the thread I seem to recall the Williams grad unhappy with Duke - why?  Because they have a great medical center and hospital?  What does one do at Swarthmore or Bates or Pomona or Williams besides get angry and waste money?  No amount of financial aid makes up for being useless.[/quote]

yup, they all have econ depts, and all have science depts - you can go premed with a bio major at any of them.

Only big thing you cannot do is engineering. Except for Swarthmore, of course.

Note you do not have to have a med school on campus to be pre-med.

I take it you only have little kids and have not had much involvement with colleges? [/quote]
