[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is leaning toward Economics and Philosophy as his major, and he’s looking for a place with a strong academic community where he can dig deep into both fields. He values a close-knit environment with small class sizes and a sense of connection between students and professors. Claremont McKenna stands out to him because of its resources like the Athenaeum, its research centers, and the opportunities that come with being in California. He loves the idea of having access to diverse internships and opportunities, especially in the business and policy spheres, which he’s interested in exploring.

That said, I’ve got some strong connections to Amherst, and I’ve always thought of it as a top-tier liberal arts school with a respected reputation across a variety of disciplines, including Economics and Philosophy. The rigorous academicenvironment there is something we both admireWhat I’m struggling with is how to balance the location, opportunities, and academic environment at Claremont McKenna with the overall prestige and longstanding reputation of Amherst. Is Claremont McKenna seen as strong in the areas DC cares about—specifically Economics and Philosophy—or is Amherst’s name and academic rigor just too hard to beat?[/quote]
Apply and see if you get accepted to one or both. No sense nitpicking now. [/quote]
