So many DCUM posters seem to live in a cartoon world where they are sure that their bizarre uninformed opinions dictate reality.

In the real world, half my kid’s tours of the 5Cs were DMV kids, the family sitting next to us at drop off were from Silver Spring, and my kid lived with his high school bestie all 4 years.

If this is true, why would anyone go across the country for a mini UMD at double the price?

You are proving the PP’s point: you live in a fictional world.

Fiction is thinking a college most have never heard of is better than a flagship

Most engineers have heard of Harvey Mudd.

How do HM graduates do in the securing a job outside of CA versus those who graduated from a public flagship with a reputable engineering school?

What does this mean? They go to jobs across the country and do well. It is probably one of the best colleges you can go to from an ROI standpoint.

So when a company is choosing between a UMD grad versus one from HM, the job can go to either one if all other quals (gpa, work experience etc.)are similar? UMD engineering = HM's?

HM has limited name recognition outside the west coast.

Most HM grads end up staying in California.

Impossible to say how much that is personal preference vs other factors, and kindly recall that any HM student already chose to attend a college in California.

Yes, absolutely.

40% are from California. I also am unsure to see how staying in the state where Silicon Valley and a pretty robust aerospace engineering industry wouldn’t be attractive.

Silicon Valley recruits heavily in the Bay Area and does not come to the Claremont schools.

I know of it and have spent my whole life in New England. It’s known in engineering/tech very well

The valley companies do recruit heavily in the Bay Area which is why UCSC, SJSU, and Santa Clara are underappreciated gems for STEM but it is100% false to pretend that they don't recruit from the 5C's. There is a strong pipeline from the SoCal schools to the Bay Area.

Ha. Please, keep spreading that around so that it will be easier for my younger kids to get in!

Everyone, these schools are awful… don’t bother to visit… trust me on this… the schools are as bad as the weather… the dorms are ugly… Claremont Village sucks… tell all your friends…

Horrible campus
Terrible vibe

Your kid definitely shouldn't apply...
