[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was on the hiring committee of my big law firm and had honestly never heard of Carleton until about 5 years ago. [/quote]

Schools like Carleton get you into the law schools that you have heard of.  Look at the graduate school placement for midwest SLACs and you'll be likely impressed.  [/quote]

My understanding is that it is a good school. I had just never come across someone who went there and had never heard of it. I did know about Williams, Middlebury, Pomona, etc. [/quote]

NP. My DS is going to Carleton next year. It is not a well-known destination for students at his high school, but he was determined.

My DH is a professor. To a person, his colleagues were both familiar with and had great things to say about Carleton when they learned DS was applying/had been accepted. Perhaps that validation isn't useful if you don't want to enter academia, but it's a good school and certainly known among some audiences. I think that, and its location in cold and remote Minnesota, affect its name recognition around here.
