<p>I be perfectly honest, graduate school placement is not that important to me - I just find it as a helpful indicator of a program’s strength. It’s hardly perfect, but at least it’s better than using PhD candidates per capita. Job placement is even less important to me since the graduate school I’ll go to will determine my ultimate career prospects.</p>
<p>Even though it’s not the case, let’s assume, for simplicity’s sake, that my main goal in college is getting into a good business school. </p>
<p>I’ll be closer to home in CMC and prefer its weather. I like Swarthmore’s academically focused atmosphere, and the quality of its students and professors. In my mind, these factors basically cancel each other out.</p>
<p>Which school would be better for me?</p>
