[quote=Anonymous]I think we have have officially reached the point in this thread where it no longer helps OP.

OP:  Oberlin or Mac for pre-PhD science.  Oberlin is probably a bit stronger in PhD production. Bit not enough to tip the scales. And, you need to get in the weeds of bio, vs Chem vs physics vs geoscience, etc to really say.

They are very different campuses and and attract different sorts of kids. It’s hard to imagine visiting and your kid not having a preference.

Suck it up and go in winter.  MN and Ohio Lake effect are a shock for DMV kids. And are different types of nasty winter weather. Ohio Lake Effect is wetter/icier. YouR kid deserves to know what they are signing on for.

Second adding St. Olaf if you are a 1/2 hour away. Strong science AND really nice campus feel.  It’s a good safety for a kid who is a Mac/Oberlin/Kenyon match. And good safeties are hard to find.

Carleton is also excellent. But I assume based on your list you are looking for merit aid. Carleton doesn’t award merit.

Good luck. [/quote]
