<p>Anyone know of this place? Anyone applying here? </p>
<p>Its apparently ranked 16 on Forbes =P</p>
<p>Also, I need some feedback on Haverford College, if anyone is applying or has any idea of the place.</p>
<p>Danke (Thanks)</p>
<p>Whitman is a very good LAC. I know a few people who are currently studying there and they are all very happy. It is definitely not a pressure cooker place like Swarthmore but I hear that it is better than places like Colgate or Bates. (Disclaimer: I have a west coast bias) Walla Walla is a very nice place if you like rural setting. We have driven through that town a few times and I think the entire northwest is the most beautiful part of US.</p>
<p>It doesn’t guarantee full aid (only meets 89% of the demonstrated need).</p>
<p>Other than that, it’s great. An acquaintance went there for Econ, found it too tough (signifies good rigor in curriculum!) shifted over to IR (every second Indian applying abroad goes for this; quite a ridiculous thing to do for a single major in undergrad imo) and found it pretty good. He says resources were plenty, faculty good/interested, good experience overall.
Also, it is definitely less selective in admissions than most colleges on a typical international applicant’s list. It is good to have a few matches!</p>
<p>I was about to…
its a good college , however… - 1. Location - walla walla - up in the north. Not very accessible.
2. Very low intl population
3. Very low diversity</p>
