I’ve met some Swarthmore grads in grad school and I graduated from Reed. I’ve heard or seen nothing to suggest ‘Swarthmore students’ as a group have a stronger work ethic or more work than Reedies. Our experiences actually seem remarkably similar.
“I wouldn’t want to be pre-med at either place.”
Reed provides three statistical measures of medical school acceptance rate: 70%, 76%, 80%.
Reed put on the full court press trying to recruit my daughter to apply. 100’s of emails and some type of literature arriving weekly for months. But she is a scholar and an athlete so Reed was not in her future, decided to go to Williams. We live in Hawaii to give a idea of distance.
