WASP wasn’t by ranking. Pomona has consistently been worse ranked than AWS.

Well it is ranked by students, in the sense that we know which one they are most likely to P-prefer when they get into more than one…

Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, or Bowdoin. Pomona is washed and no one knows what or where it is. The New England elites continue to prevail.

If the Claremont Colleges (CMC, Pomona & Mudd, Pitzer, Scripps) were grouped as a National University where do you think it would rank?

Pretty low, scripps and pitzer are awful. But CMC Pomona and Mudd as one university would be a very strong one.

anything in the #13 belongs to the second tier right below t10.
Harvey Mudd seems to have a good year.

Yeah, seemed to move to tiers this year. Very clear what they are now, at least according to this list.

They are so silly thinking there is a huge difference between a #5 & #6.


Yep, 4 tiers: 1-10, the 13s, the 20s, the 30s. Can't say I disagree, not that it matters that much in the end.

You idiots are so pressed to quantify your notion of elite. Tell me this, smart guy. How are you accounting for the service academies? USNA is just “better” than Bowdoin? Huge respect for Annapolis and the kids who choose that path, but those experiences and the kids who go there couldn’t be more different than the traditional SLACs. Makes the difference between W&L and a “woke” school like Haverford quaint by comparison. But you prestige whores enjoy your Super Bowl. Special shout out to the Pomona haters who have some additional ammunition now that it fell behind Bowdoin and is tied with CMC.

Pomona “haters” don’t need ammunition when it’s objectively a trash college- glad USNews finally got the memo.

There are a dozen or so schools which are all every bit as good as any of the others and another group that has little if any real difference. Bowdoin and WASP aren’t at all special in this group and they never have been.

WASP-B + Grinnell + Wellesley all have over a million per capita endowment per student. None of the other usual suspects are even close, except for CMC and Smith. So there’s that.

This is a meaningless statistic. Endowment per capital is important up until a point. Any school with $1B or more in endowment is in excellent shape.

Pomona is slipping on every ranking. CMC is the new number 1 in the Claremont system
