Statistical Analyzer:

Mudd has an amazing admissions staff which can really give one a false impression of the school. The Dean of Admissions is one of the coolest people ever, and current students tend to be very friendly towards prospective students. Here are two myths you'll hear a lot:

Myth: Your low GPA won't matter, and people will recognize Harvey Mudd and know that your GPA is low because of the difficult coursework.

Truth: Most employers have never heard of Harvey Mudd, and when told which school you attend, often think that Harvey Mudd is a community college. I feel that I should note that I don't have a low GPA, but that some of my friends are not as lucky, and seeing them get turned down from every grad school they applied to hurts.

Myth: Clinic is a great experience.

Truth: Clinic can certainly help you get a job by introducing you to one of the few employers who has heard of Mudd, but having a good clinic experience is a crapshoot. Your project could be incredibly easy and require very little work, or you could be spending an average of 20 hours a week or more on clinic. You could have a great team that gets along well, or you could hate half of your team, or have several team members who either do no work or are incapable of doing competent work.

There are some things that (understandably) just aren't mentioned to prospective students:

Some of the things admissions tells you are true:

As far as my personal experience at Mudd goes:

While Mudd isn't what I would call a great place, I can confidently say that everyone I know from Mudd who has gone to grad school at Caltech or MIT says Mudd is significantly better (the social life in particular). So if you're trying to decide between these three, I'd say that Mudd is your best bet (barring post-graduation), but you probably shouldn't go to any of these places and perhaps you should rethink your college plans. You can always go to an easy school for undergrad that won't make you hate yourself or destroy your GPA and then go to a good grad school.
