<p>I wanted to give my two cents because everyone else is… first of all, I too was put off by the Haverford tour, and decided to apply, but chose Swarthmore over Haverford (and other places) mostly based on the fact that I had a good “feel” about Swarthmore that I very much didn’t have about Haverford. Haverford felt a little stilted and precious… anyways, once at college I had several friends and significant others at Haverford so I spent quite a bit of time there. Anyways, its different than swat, but its a GREAT place, and the honor code has very little bearing on the every day life of the college (at least in an obvious way). I think its silly not to apply to a college because of the honor code, and while I never regretted my decision, Haverford is a great place, and I think most Swatties would be very happy there. Re the med school thing - an insane number of swattie bio majors end up getting PhDs. I would take that into account.</p>
