[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know you OP or your child. I went to Swarthmore. At least when I was there, you'd have to be near genius or Rhodes Scholar caliber to make it through the honors program. It's that rigorous. [/quote] It's rigorous, but not too many participate. Only 18% participated last year (http://swarthmorephoenix.com/2015/11/05/decline-in-humanities-majors-causes-concern-for-faculty-students/), while Swarthmore would like to maintain 30%. Also, Swarthmore is no longer the caliber of the institution it once was. It used to have the second or third highest SATs of any college in the country, but now it is more like 20th. Lots of competition from national universities and other LACs, which are more well-balanced and relevant in a tough job market. Swarthmore's yield is quite poor as well. [/quote]
