[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [/quote]I'm surprised at how much higher Carleton and Grinnell are than Oberlin. I've known some super-smart kids who went to Oberlin and thought those schools were all on par.[/quote]

Oberlin is ranked 39th in US News. Carleton 6, Grinnell 15. Oberlin was a fine academic institution at some point and perhaps retains many of its original qualities, including in the sciences, but the campus culture has gotten away from them and turns off a lot of strong applicants. So quality has slipped. Oberlin has a decent endowment though and still fights for smart kids with merit money. [/quote]

Oberlin has a prestigious music conservatory. Most of its lower-scoring students matriculate into its undergrad music degree program. So scores at Oberlin that include those of the music conservatory students shouldn't be directly compared to those of students at schools that offer more conventional academic programs only.[/quote]

Ohio is such a s**thole that grinnel being in Iowa affects it way less than oberlin being in ohio

The simplest answer is usually the right one [/quote]

Why is Ohio worse than Iowa? If anything it’s closer to civilization and more convenient/accessible. [/quote]
