College Decision：Reed or UCLA？

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi, I am going to choose one of these two schools. I will major mathematics and want to pursue a Ph.D. in grad schools. Reed is certainly a great LAC, but someone suggests that UCLA can offer me more chances of getting into top grad schools if my intended major is pure mathematics. A Reedie says that it is hard for Reed students who major math to get in top grad since Reed does not offer grad-level math courses.</p>

<p>Would you please give me some advice? Thanks.</p>

<p>First, wasn’t your selection decision already due? Second, Reed is one of the top stepping stones for PhDs in the country, per capita. [REED</a> COLLEGE PHD PRODUCTIVITY](<a href=“http://www.reed.edu/ir/phd.html]REED”>Doctoral Degree Productivity - Institutional Research - Reed College)</p>
