[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not turn down Yale. It will open more doors and terms of employment and grad school. Also, the residential colleges provide a small social community. The dining is very communal and it’s a good way to meet friends. So it’s not really a large university in that sense. They break it down into smaller communities and then you also have the option of meeting people outside of your college[/quote] Do not worry about name recognition or opening doors if your daughter goes to Swarthmore. I guarantee anyone who matters for her professionally knows of it and respects the heck out of it. It used to be that Swarthmore sent more folks to grad programs than the Ivies on a per capita basis—I would guess that’s still true but haven’t had a reason to look lately. And I don’t know anyone who thought grad school was harder than Swat Honors—your daughter will have to decide if that’s a pro or a con![/quote]
