<p>yeah, good one kwu, im going to cornell next year too but Im out on the west coast (california) and I havent ever heard of Swarthmore until they started spamming me earlier in the year with DVD’s. I excused them as another liberal arts school with sub 500 SATS and didnt realize otherwise until my dad, whos an engineer whos responsible for hiring a lot of people, told me I should go watch the DVD. </p>
<p>Case in point, Swarthmore is definitely a good school. Many people responsible for hiring are going to be familiar with the school and the students it turns out. Other than that though, Swarthmore cant touch Cornell in prestige. If you told people you were going to swarthmore, half of them would think you were going to community college; on the other hand, everybody knows the Cornell is a good school.</p>
<p>Again, so everybody doesnt get all ****y, im not saying that swarthmores a bad school but I am saying that when you think of a prestigious school, Swarthmore isnt really the first thing that pops into your mind.</p>
