I was just curious- I know US news has a list of schools that have “culminating projects”- ( and I think most high schools have some type of senior project)- it was more for dinner party conversation.

A friend who was apparently raised a Boston Brahmin and in the South, was quite adamant that a thesis required of everyone was quite de riguer in the finest schools ( ivies) of course I didn’t argue with him- me argue?
but I didn’t think that a common experience like Reed has- the hum110 for freshmen and the thesis for seniors ( as well as junior qual) was really that common.
I knew that many schools have honors etc and double degrees, etc- I was just merely wondering as to what schools had common experience for graduation.

( I really cannot fathom the level of intellect Mini must possess if he wasn’t impressed by the Reed senior theses- I have been impressed by the research papers that my D did in high school frankly, and while she isnt necessarily doing completely original research for her college senior thesis- I am quite confident that it is good work )
