[quote=Anonymous]The Bryn Mawr example doesn't seem typical to me. I visited the Pomona science buildings and was not only impressed by how nice they were, but each professor had their own lab staffed with 4-5 undergraduates. We talked to students and they said virtually everyone engaged in summer research thanks to the school's programs (apparently, they fund over 250 students). Two of the students were rising seniors- one was heading to Harvard, also having considered offers at Stanford, Berkeley, and UChicago, while the other was headed to Princeton chemistry. The buildings were filled with posters of past research projects undertaken by students. If Pomona is the example for how other top SLACs are with regards to preparation for a science education, I don't think a highly qualified student would find themselves with any disadvantage going to them over a research university.
