<p>Thanks mini, that’s helpful. Grad school placement is not at all my only consideration. I plan to go on to grad school and probably get a PhD as well, and I just want to be sure that I’ll be well prepared, and it happens to be the one criterion I’m not sure Swarthmore meets. It’s the major criticism many people I’ve talked to have about smaller schools, and I just want to know if really is a reason I should consider a larger research school over Swarthmore.</p>
