<p>vossron, I don’t know what you mean, I think 1,436 students IS small, at least in comparison to what else she was looking at. And 75% grad rate IS not that great from what I recall.</p>
<p>GC was hardly an idiot, has been doing this for years and had actually visited Reed within the prior few years. Best private school in that area, with highly successful college admissions. Including some to Reed. He may not have been right in this case, I don’t know, but there was no reason to think he was wrong, and still isn’t so far as I can tell. Your stats are only reinforcing his stated opinions, not diminishing them.</p>
<p>FWIW, he didn’t love everything about Oberlin either; but whatever he objected to about it didn’t deter her, evidently. YMMV.</p>
