Hey guys!
As you can guess im really really confused. I was admitted for engineering to Northwestern and know thats NW Engineering is awesome but Swarthmore is also really really exclusive and the student - professor interactions + exclusivity and badge value seem better at Swarthmore. As an international student from India, Im really attracted to Swarthmore cuz of how exclusive it is, (admitted only 2 from my country) but at the same time I dont want to lose out on how amazing a ‘University - Undergrad Education’ would be compared to a ’ Small College Undergrad Education’ which NW can probably boast of over Swarthmore.

My sister went to Yale & I absolutely loved it (was deffered SCEA and then rejected) so perhaps im looking for the closest to a Yale kind college experience.

Also is it true that swarthmore graduates have better job placements/post-grade placements?

Please let me know Swarthmore or Northwestern…which would be the best choice?
