Documented the life of an indigenous tribe during an anthropology ethnographic study, participation in Telluride, recipient of the PPIR, and a film club president. Applied with intent to major in IR and History. So rare for anyone at DC's school to pull a Pomona acceptance too!

Maybe she should have applied to Yale instead? That's a lot of unique accolades and firepower and effort just to go to a tiny LAC. I think she could have gone to an Ivy league school with a larger and more impressive alum pool.

+2 All of that for Pomona? Stuck in suburbia?

I'm a professor who has found every Carlton grad in my MA program delightful. I have nothing but extremely positive impressions. Congrats to both of your DCs!

I don't think New Haven location is a selling point for Yale.

What does this mean? The students can leave campus. It’s not like Williams grads all reside in Williamstown

Nice. A hidden gem.

It’s really sad that adults can’t let children just be happy and go to their college.
