Kalamazoo College vs UCSD: Is spending more money for research experience and brand worth it? [biology pre-PhD]

You have read my general opinion of Reed (Thoughts on Reed College?). For a comment specific to your son, I think he should seriously consider Reed based simply on the excellence of its biology program (rather than for ultimate PhD production, the concept of which I believe, candidly, has been a distraction to his search process). Since your son appears to be interested in Reed primarily for its academic opportunities, I’m not certain (as others appear to be) that he would need to visit the school to make the best decision.
