Pomona or Claremont McKenna

What are the major differences?

[Anonymous]

So many differences. Please do some basic research and try again.

CM is more conservative and excels at political science and economics. Pomona is more diverse and more progressive. Most students apply to one or the other - there’s not a lot of crossover due to their differences.

This.

Or let your kid do the research and decide. You're not the one going to college. DCUM parents often forget that.

Exactly. The one on a site researching schools for their kid.

Both are overrated, according to those in the know - #12 and #18 respectively, in terms of their faculty and alum influence.

I don't know. My kid has researched them, and the differences are not things that matter to him. There are significant things he likes about each.

Overrated when they are both in the top 20? I don't think you know 1) how many colleges there are or 2) what overrated means

Pomona has by far the more beautiful campus; Pomona is more liberal but that's not to say CMC is conservative. CMC is excellent for Political Studies. Pomona is excellent for everything.

Excellent schools. Can't go wrong unless you're a super hippie-where you might be a better fit for Pitzer.

Hardly “by far.” CMC has some great buildings. It’s a southern CA campus, not some simulacrum of some transplanted Northeastern slac. CMC is a conventionally liberal school now. Keep up.

Who is this insane poster, really? There is a person who keeps posting rankings of things like "most faculty and alum influence", and "most winners of X prize." I and every other parent I know can't imagine giving a sh!t about inane things like this.

"Faculty and alum influence" for God's sake. What an absolutely stupid thing to compile a list of. I can't imagine trying to direct my kids to a school based on something that utterly idiotic.
