    celandine your sister is "the" Reed student

    and unlike everybody else in this thread I'm not just recommending my school, I don't even go there

    trust me

    I've visited Reed, some of my friends/acquaintances go to Reed, I've interviewed with Reed, I've done a lot of research on Reed

    If she's academically motivated (the one thing you didn't mention, and it's a rigorous school) she belongs there

    I don't know which one would be the best, though

    Does she want the math stuff or the hippie stuff?

    Yeah. It's pretty boss for engineering. Nifty school year setup. Rigorous and expensive, but a very good school. I have a few friends up there.

    well i go to American

    there are a lot of rich privileged white kids here and a lot of rich privileged foreign kids too. and um the school is basically focused on either business and international/public policy. it is in DC, DC is a cool place and we are half assed "liberal arts" and finally we have a very substantial and large lgbt community.

    so she shouldn't come here. at all.

    (it's also way too expensive)

    Pitzer or Harvey Mudd. Her personality is Pitzer, her major is Harvey Mudd. Luckily, the way the schools work she could easily go to Harvey and hang out with Pitzer kids. At the Claremont schools you can take classes across schools very easily but you have to major within your school, so which one she goes to really depends on her major (or, if the contest is between Pitzer and Pomona, her scores).

    goddd I know so much about liberal arts schools

    Well then I guess Harvey Mudd is the Claremont for her

    in-state tuition is cheaper, but you most definitely do not get more scholarships

    you're already in the state, they don't have to do a lot of luring

    right right, same difference

    the institution doesn't really matter as long as you get a degree and focus on the school work

    unless she's interested in research

    No, Evergreen is a stoner school. Reed is a bit of a "work hard, play hard" school. It's absolutely one of the best educations in the world - one of the ones that is so highly-ranked, it might as well be number one because there's no functional difference. It's a lot of work, though - there's no such thing as an easy class, and most students I've talked to describe hours and hours of work each day.

    definitely not a stoner school, although it does have a bit of a psychedelic reputation because of the big "blowing-off-steam" fest at the end of the year

    I mean, most small liberal-arts colleges are going to be more "stoner school" than any big university

    But Pitzer is the stoner Claremont, not Harvey Mudd

    Reed's math program is its strongest, actually. And it has dual-degree programs with a few schools, one of which is Caltech.

    also:
    Reed has produced the second-highest number of Rhodes scholars for any liberal arts college—31—as well as over fifty Fulbright Scholars, over sixty Watson Fellows, and two MacArthur ("Genius") Award winners.[5][33] A very high proportion of Reed graduates go on to earn Ph.D.s, particularly in the sciences, history, political science, and philosophy. Reed is third in percentage of its graduates who go on to earn Ph.D.s in all disciplines, after only Caltech and Harvey Mudd.[6] In 1961, Scientific American declared that second only to Caltech, "This small college in Oregon has been far and away more productive of future scientists than any other institution in the U.S."[34][35] Reed is first in this percentage in biology, second in chemistry and humanities, third in history, foreign languages, and political science, fourth in the physical sciences, math and computer science, and science and engineering, fifth in physics and social sciences, sixth in anthropology, seventh in area and ethnic studies and linguistics, and eighth in English literature and the medical sciences.[6]

    basically it's a fucking fantastic school no matter what you're studying.
