A: FROM MODERATOR SARAH SHIRK
IN IL
Hi Amber,
I went to a small liberal arts college near Philadelphia,
PA called Swarthmore College.
It has a very high acceptance rate for students who graduate
and move on to Medical school. My roommate studied religion
and biology and created her own bio-ethics major. Now she
is a physician in Kenya trying to help prevent HIV/AIDS transmission
from pregnant Mothers to their babies.
Two Swarthmore graduates are listed on Discover magazines'
50 most important women in science list. One of them worked
on the twin 400-inch Keck telescopes in Hawaii and the other
received the National Medal of Science. To read more about
these science grads go to http://www.swarthmore.edu/news/releases/02/discover.html.
I highly recommend Swarthmore if you want to go to school
in a small town, but be near a big city. Pennsylvania is a
big state so there are many colleges to choose from, but in
my opinion Swarthmore is one of the best!
