[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC accepted at Lewis & Clark and Reed EA.

FYI, Reed did it old school via mail instead of portal. The package included a book (Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man), a journal and other stuff. Nicely reinforced the intellectual (and lefty) bent of the school.

DC had just gotten accepted ED at a school that's probably a better fit but I wanted to mention Reed as well as L&C here since they are a little off the beaten track for DCUM but both great schools.[/quote]
Not a lot of kids out west apply to both of those schools. Reed is west coast Swarthmore. Lewis & Clark is more like west coast Richmond (minus the hoops). They're very different from each other.[/quote]
Lewis and Clark is not as well regarded or known as U of Richmond. Same with Reed v Swarthmore (though I think Reed is probably underrated).  [/quote]
You've totally missed the point. [/quote]

What is the point?  These schools aren’t comparable. And this thread isn’t for mentioning schools for people to consider and comparing them to other schools. [/quote]

PP whose kid got into Reed as well as Lewis & Clark. Yes, very different, but both strong academics for international relations which is kid's interest. (Reed obviously stronger but perhaps less of a good cultural fit for my kid.) Lewis & Clark also offered $30k/yr merit aid. His ED acceptance is at a great LAC that's really right for him, but wow $120k would have been tempting! Again just mentioning for future parents like me who will read these threads looking for ideas on where to apply.[/quote]
