“Is this just my perception, or is the general recognition of LAC’s growing (possibly to surpass schools like Penn, Columbia, etc.)?”

No, it’s not just your perception…the name-value of the Claremonts is rising, and probably of many LACs in general. But I also don’t predict the Swarthmore name to surpass the Columbia name anytime soon. More than anything, it’s a simple issue of size (and for many larger univerisities, also an issue of sports, which is where “name recognition” starts for many people).
