Oh gosh, that's silly. Sure, compared to MIT or Caltech, Swat might lack resources, but there are far fewer people COMPETING for the resources. swat engineer grads do incredibly well in the post-graduate job hunt. the critical thinking skills LAC students develop (small class sizes/many team-based activites/etc) are unmatched, and they place into top grad programs. ridiculous claims

I am just saying... I've never seen an LAC graduate in any of the top graduate engineering programs nor big name industry positions I interned in. This is not to say that LAC students are less capable. Also look at Swarts engineering program... no big name engineering competition student teams, rudimentary lab facilities compared to Rose Hulman or even Lawrence Tech for e.g. let alone MIT or Caltech. Ofcourse comparing technical schools to LACs is not fair for engineering careers, but that is my point. There are specialized schools for certain professions and my personal experience is LACs are not the top pick with all these other options in the mix, while going to a big school like Cornell nets you many more options.

FWIW, Harvey Mudd is listed as a LAC...
