Agree. I’d call CMC the Bucknell of the West, while Pomona is more like Swarthmore. Both are incredible schools, but their strengths are in very different areas. Is your kid more interested in being immersed in intellectualism or getting on the fast track to The Street?[/quote]

Their personality definitely lean more towards "intellectual" and will probably do better socially in that crowd as well. They have some interest in pursuing a future career in finance in areas like hedge funds but I wouldn't say he's committed to it. Will probably major in something like economics or philosophy[/quote]

Pomona might be a better fit for him, and since the two schools are part of the same consortium, he can still plug into the CMC Wall Street pipeline if that's his career goal. He can even take classes there and start networking with the finance gods over there, many of whom will be very well connected.[/quote]

This is overstating the relationship of the consortium a bit-if interest is finance, best to be enrolled at CMC to take advantage of clubs which operate at a very high level and are very competitive to get in and not open to Pomona students.

Philosophy department is fantastic-child just finished first class and was truly inspired. [/quote]
