[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of academic emphasis, Pomona is much heavier STEM than both Williams and Amherst. Its best departments are Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, and Neuroscience. Of the computing research association outstanding undergraduate research award, Pomona was the only liberal arts college represented for the 8 scholars chosen. There’s currently a math professor who is the next President of the Mathematical Association of America. This is not to say Williams or Amherst aren’t also exemplary at stem (they are!) but at Pomona, you’re gonna see a lot more Alice Schafer Prize scholars walking around (there’s been 3 in the past 5 years) compared to Beinecke Scholars.

I believe Williams has the most Leroy Apker award winners, so I'm not sure where you got the notion that Pomona was stronger in qphysics.[/quote]
Well that wasn’t said at all, so maybe that’s where I didn’t get it![/quote]
You said Pomona was heavier in STEM (which includes physics) that Williams and Amherst, and that physics is one of Pomona's departments. Together these imply that Pomona is stronger in physics than Williams and Amherst.[/quote]
Not at all. By heavier, I mean more majors and student culture. No one said it’s better at Williams, ever.[/quote]
