UPenn or Swarthmore for Graduate School Admissions

<p>Which one is looked upon more favorably?</p>

<p>This is a pretty dumb question. If you know anything about the two schools, you'd know that they both have great reputations.</p>

<p>I realize that. I was just wondering which one had better placement rates into top grad schools.</p>

<p>If someone could post some stats on how placement for seniors at each college is to top graduate schools then it would help me make a choice.</p>

<p>Work hard and you'll be able to go to any grad school you want.</p>

<p>The placement rates will be very skewed, since you're comparing a very academic LAC to a pre-professional university.</p>

<p>Yes, Penn's grad school placement rates are skewed because a disproportionate amount of students intend for their undergraduate bachelor to be their terminal degree (i.e. Wharton and nursing) and have no intention of going to grad school, thus lowering the percentage of Penn students who get into top grad schools.</p>

<p>I for one am up for grad school...not straight out of college though.</p>
