Exactly. "...the narcissism of small differences is the idea that when people ... have a lot in common, they can actually be more likely to fight with each other and mock each other, because they become overly sensitive to small differences they notice in one another and treat those differences as bigger than they are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism_of_small_differences

What is actually similar? Amherst is an ivy adjacent lac grad school feeder and IB feeder with a strong New England culture and dedication to the humanities.

Meanwhile, Pomona is an okay liberal arts college on the west coast that got popular recently, had a dedication almost entirely to stem and very poor humanities programs, and 1/50 the alumni group quality of Amherst.

Lord Jeffrey AmERst grads I know are insufferable and you just convinced me to take Amherst off my DC’s suggested list of schools to visit. Good job promoting your school.

These threads are SO stupid. Your DC will likely have a clear preference after visiting but why bother even doing that except in the unlikely event they get into both.

Why don't you try to get in first and decline it, then you can make your point.

What is actually similar? Amherst is an ivy adjacent lac grad school feeder and IB feeder with a strong New England culture and dedication to the humanities.

Meanwhile, Pomona is an okay liberal arts college on the west coast that got popular recently, had a dedication almost entirely to stem and very poor humanities programs, and 1/50 the alumni group quality of Amherst.

There’s no way people like this exists.

It always amuses me when the personalities of DCUM drivel posters are what supposedly cause people to make large decisions about their child's future. Your loss
