College Advice on Lewis & Clark College

Person! Question: Do you know anything about Lewis & Clark College or Carleton College? L & C is in Oregon, and Carleton is in Minnesota. I'm interested in these schools and I hope someone can give me some input! Thanks so much, answers are much appreciated :) Also if you are familiar with the weather around Portland, Oregon and Minnesota that'd be extremely helpful. Thanks. 47 months ago Profe... Best Answer Carleton has a great academic reputation (nationally), Lewis and Clark much less so. If I were looking at grad school applicants from each school, with similar test scores and GPAs, and both had great letters of recommendation, I'd favor the candidate from Carleton because of the nationally-recognized rigor of its programs of study.
