I don't think the academics/student body is well regarded and i think of the student body as more activist vs intellectual (pomona). Maybe look at cmc if kid is pre professional type.

This. They are worlds apart. Pomona is ranked 5 for national liberal arts colleges; Pitzer is 36 . It's not as well-regarded. I would do CMC, which is ranked 8, and cross-register for STEM. Because it's unlikely the STEM major will hold. New college students change majors 80 percent of the time - and usually twice. My own kid entered as an aerospace engineer at UVA and switched to the humanities second year. google it.

Thanks for another example of slavish adherence to dubious rankings.

Pitzer's endowment is WEAK.

Scripps is a safety, if that works. Or an easier admit than CMC/Pomona

Scripps is inviting degenerates like Monica Lewinsky to its campus this semester. I would not encourage my daughter to take part in such foolishness.
