Having read this, I believe you should definitely go to Carleton. It has one of the strongest math and science programs of any liberal arts college in the country (certainly stronger than Bowdoin’s)… There are statistics out there somewhere demonstrating that Carleton is one of the highest per capita producers of future PhD’s in a scientific field out of every school (college or university) in the country. </p>
<p>Make no mistake, Carleton’s other departments are excellent as well – there really are no truly “weak” programs at a top-10 liberal arts college.</p>
<p>And if you go to Carleton next year, I just might be there with you! (I’m deciding between Carleton and one other school.)</p>
