<p>I have narrowed my choices down to Whitman and Santa Clara, and I am considering applying to Lewis and Clark. I was accepted to Santa Clara, but the problem is I probably won't get into Whitman without doing Early Decision. It is my first choice, but I was wondering is anyone could compare these schools. I havent visited L&C, but I loved the other two. I am mainly concerned about my options after graduation, as I would be happy at both schools I have visited. Which is the strongest, and by how much? Would I have a distinct advantage at grad schools or with emplyers by going to one of them?</p>
<p>If your going to technology or business, Santa Clara is awesome within your choices. L&C is more like a community college, but def check it out before you do go.</p>
<p>Im wondering what community college you are thinking of when you compare Lewis and Clark?

The growing national reputation of the College of Arts and Sciences has led to a record 4,000 applications for the class of 2009. The law school's environmental law program is consistently ranked as one of the top two programs in the nation. The graduate school's emphasis on educating school leaders has resulted in more than 7,100 alumni active in leadership roles in schools throughout the country.</p>
<p>Since Lewis & Clark moved to its current location in 1942--on the site of a former residential estate--the campus has grown to more than 135 acres. In the past 15 years the college has added more than 368,600 square feet of academic and residential space. Recently constructed residence halls and academic buildings have established Lewis & Clark as a leader in sustainable green-building practices.</p>
<p>Lewis & Clark's endowment performance over the past decade is in the top 5 percent nationally in the institution?s peer group. During the past 18 months, strategic investments, strong investment performance and the maturation of trusts have helped grow the institution's endowment by 57 percent.

<p>I believe Lewis and Clark is a community college, but Lewis & Clark is a LAC.</p>
<p>Lewis & Clark College is beautiful LAC in Portland. You should def apply (it's free on the common app). It's my first choice. You just have to visit the campus and you'll probably be very interested. And it's really not as rainy as everyone thinks :).</p>

Awww..disssssss!</p>
<p>No all three are fine schools, none are far superior over the others, though I do give a little more props to Santa Clara, but L&C is the most beautiful of all of them. But all three schools have good grad places, I wouldn't worry about grad placement anyways, so long as you perform well in any of the three schools, you'll be fine. What should be the deciding factor is in which setting are you willing to spend the next four years that will enable you to grow, branch out, and perform at your best so you can go to grad school afterwards.</p>
