I’m making this choice too. Which do you think is better for someone hoping to get a PhD in History? Also, I know grading is harder at Swarthmore and that actually kind of makes me proud to go there but that Yale name is a big draw I have to admit. It sounds like Yale is planning to change its grading so that it’s more like Swarthmore. Do you think that might happen and that Yale grading will become less inflated? I know its might sound crazy but I really want to be challenged and don’t want to just get the easy “A”. I know I work harder that way and learn more.
