Why did you link this? Hamilton is not the college that is being talked about.

D.P. It's information that could be lead to an exciting, as well as fully funded, opportunity. Don't interfere with it unless you have a good reason to do so.

It has nothing to do with the topic at large.

The PPE programs at Amherst and CMC mentioned earlier differ.

Amherst seems to have a certificate: https://www.umass.edu/philosophy/certificate-ppe

The CMC PPE requires the student to apply so not guaranteed: https://www.cmcppe.org

That’s Umass, not Amherst college.

This must be wrong. All my life, Williams has been the best for recruiting, and I don’t see that changing. Claremont McKenna might get there in 100 years, but it definitely isn’t there in 2025

As someone with an interest in philosophy, I would have been grateful to have heard of this program at a time during which I would have been eligible for it. I wouldn't have quibbled as to where I learned of it. In any case, at the center of this topic is a student interested in philosophy, and this student can attend Amherst or CMC and still attend Hamilton's summer program.

Some 40% of CMC grads are econ majors vs. up to 12% of Williams majors. So of course CMC porportionally has better placement for Wall Street. But the average econ/finance person is more likely to land a top job from Williams than from CMC.
