Claremont McKenna College- definitely worth checking out!

DS was initially excited about CMC because of the business curriculum, the FIRE endorsement and the intimacy of dinners and faculty dialogue. Then he toured and took if off the list.

Why: he’s a city born and raised kid, the actual city, and Claremont is a gorgeous little isolated place. People will say “but LA!” It took us an hour by car in real traffic to get to the city, and longer to the beach. Claremont the town is tiny. It’s the opposite of scene-y. There were 2 coffee places that I saw. It has exquisite, expensive desert retirement town vibes.

The school has 1,600 kids.

I have no doubt it’s an amazing location fit for some people.

* Consistently ranked among the top 10 SLACs
* 80% of classes under 20 students
* 11 research institutes that conduct graduate level/think-tank level research on a variety of social science topics
* Beautiful modern campus and a strong athletics program
* Engagement opportunities that exceed just about any other school- 95% of students with internship experiences, 80% with two or more, 75% doing research with faculty
* Diverse- 45% students of color, 15% international, 48 countries represented among 1400 students
* At the center of the adjacent Claremont Colleges for expanded courses, students to interact with, and events
* Highly regarded by Princeton Review for quality of life, accessible professors, career services, and happy students
* Tight knit alumni network
* #3 among all colleges and universities for feeding into top business schools (size-adjusted), #11 among all for feeding into top Wall Street jobs
* Median earnings of 87K 2 years within graduation according to CollegeScorecard which is the 2nd highest among SLACs (after Harvey Mudd)
* Full need met financial aid and merit aid up to full tuition

It seems like there's hardly a better place to be if you want to study economics, politics, finance, or international relations.

You can't trust above stats. If there's a school that knows how to kie with statistics, it's Claremont.

That was 12 yrs ago vi guess these people, the 5C Claremont consortium, doesn't learn. Another Claremont had done it again recently. These people don't learn.
