[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a hiring manager and have always enjoyed the Pomona kids - probably interviewed at least 20 over the years.  Williams kids not so much, a different feel to those kids - almost like they are always selling how important and prestigious their school is - always like they had a chip on their shoulder that they didn’t attend an ivy [/quote]

I go to williams and also got into ivies, so did many of my classmates. Not sure why your dissing the school when you had bad experiences when hiring them.

In response to OP, both schools have great undergraduate experiences in math. The caveat i believe is that i think the SMALL reu research program for math at williams is famous, with many pomona kids trying to go and which many williams students have preference for admission in. I also think the faculty have more awards for teaching math nationally, so there are more reputable top faculty in math at williams. [/quote]
This is not a diss at Williams, but it flat out has worse faculty than Pomona. I’m sure their teaching is A+, but Pomona has some heavy hitting faculty in a way that Williams really doesn’t. Seriously, look up Edray Goins and look at his record. Also most Pomona students don’t really want SMALL, most are going for PRIME on base campus or are trying for summers at big universities.

I think they’re very different places. The benefit of Pomona is having access to all the classes at Pomona with the professors recs and then using a few Pomona class, Harvey Mudd and CGU for grad courses. There’s a lot of bonuses to going to a small college with access to 6 colleges for math classes and a location in SoCal.[/quote]
