[quote=Anonymous]Also, for a specific insight, this was a story posted detailing a first gen/low income student and CS major's experience through Pomona: https://www.pomona.edu/news/2018/03/22-chinasa-okolo-%E2%80%9918-coding-more-inclusive-computer-science It seems like she was able to do substantive research on campus leading to the REUs at University of Georgia, Columbia, and Carnegie Mellon. In general, it's encouraged for students to seek out off-campus research experiences to build their network and relationships with other institutions. If there's a specific project not available at Pomona but perhaps present at JHU or some other school, there might be REUs or research funding from Pomona available to pursue that for the summer!

This student is deciding between Princeton and Cornell for CS grad, both of which are rated as T10 programs. I found her LinkedIn and it seems she'll be interning at Microsoft at Cambridge before starting grad school and she got a NSF grant as well! If students like that can come out of Pomona, I'd assume your child can similarly thrive in their own way![/quote]
