<p>I am not a student at Haverford and since I just applied ED I am quite biased, but based off of my extensive research Haverford would probably top your list. From my research I have found that Haverford is ranked very high on graduate school matriculation (although reed is famous for their grad school acceptances). Additionally, the academics are amazing from what I have seen/heard. From what I have heard Haverford is the most academically challenging of the schools you have listed. I do not know about the financial aid offered at Haverford, but considering its sizable endowment I do not think it’s bad. On the topic of prestige, I would say that Haverford is probably the best of the schools you have listed, but this is a grey area since some people may disagree. Since I am not a student I do not think I could give you a very accurate report on the drug culture; however, when I stayed over I wasn’t left with the impression that drugs were a problem.</p>
