They have the pipeline to finance jobs.
At Georgetown, kid will take a back seat to McDonough students.
BTW: kid will be an Econ/Philosophy double major, whether it’s admitted now or not; let’s not pretend.

was anyone pretending?

You can't swing a cat on The Street without hitting a Bucknell grad, and they love to help other Bucknellians start their careers. It's one of the most fiercely loyal alumni networks of any school in the country.

LOL !!!

The Bucknell troll appears everywhere and dosn't realize that he/she is doing harm to Bucknell rather than helping.

The type of student who would choose Bucknell over Williams or Georgetown simply doesn't exist.

OP:Visit both Georgetown & Williams and the decision should be easy as these schools are quite different.

Location/feel will be big here: Georgetown is urban, Williams is remote small town. What does he want?

Agree with a PP that finance from the College of A&S at Georgetown is less of a straight line than from McDonough. I’d want to research that path to ensure it’s viable.

Yes, OP is pretending this is a male humanities kid, if you hadn’t noticed.

Yes, Claremont colleges run sports together. Because they share athletic teams, the % athletes is actually lower than NESCAC schools.

Not missing them, just saying if you want to compare finance jobs coming out of CMC, you should factor this in. I dont really think you can compare the finance jobs coming out of Mudd or Scripps and CMC for this applicant .

but okay w the rest:
Males in athletics
Pomona: 307/769
Pitzer 307/484
Scripps NA
Harvey Mudd NA

So if they’re both popular schools at your kid’s high school and you’re so convinced that he’s gonna get in, why exactly do you feel the need to crowdsource here with a bunch of anonymity strangers? Surely your son and his guidance counselor already know plenty about both schools, since they’re so “popular,” and he doesn’t need you doing this

don't think CMC was on this very short list of A vs B

Weclome to DCUM. If another school isn't discussed, you'd be in the wrong place.

nope. CMC runs own sports. Pomona and Pitzer share teams.

What does the second number even mean? Also Mudd has athletics with CMC and Scripps.
