[quote=Anonymous]Mudd is really exceptional, but you have to make sure the fit is right. It is super demanding. There is a heavy dose of grade deflation and only 8 kids have ever graduated with a 4.0. Every student is required to take math/chem/bio/CS/physics courses, and 25% of their courses have to be in the humanities and arts, so there's basically no room for exploration. But the grads do well. #2 for highest salaries of any college, #2 for PhD production.

The Claremont system is unbeatable; the other four schools, especially Pomona and CMC, are among the best LACs out there. Having access to their courses, students, organizations, events, dining halls, and more helps make tiny Mudd feel much bigger than its size would give away.

Selectivity- Mudd usually ranks in the top 5 for most selective colleges in the country by SAT. It's as hard to get into as Caltech and MIT IMO. Yes, the others have lower admit rates, but they're also more well-known so they could be getting weaker apps. You can be assured almost no one is applying to Mudd who isn't a strong STEM student.[/quote]
