[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, there’s already a school in the consortium that outperforms both Pomona and Amherst for business and IB- CMC.

Kids interested in those field self select for CMC instead. It has nothing to do with Pomona being an inferior school, it’s just a product of the overall environment among the Claremont Colleges and the students each tends to attract. [/quote]
Pomona also leads for consulting, just not IB. According to this list, Pomona and CMC are the top two liberal arts colleges feeding into consulting: https://www.collegetransitions.com/blog/from-college-to-consulting/[/quote]

So, it's Law, Medical, Business school plus Wall street vs Consulting, Tech, PH.D(can't tell the quality of it), which college is better?[/quote]

When you sort by top ranked med schools, Pokina is a bigger feeder than Amherst. It’s the number 1 LAC, actually: https://www.collegetransitions.com/blog/from-pre-med-to-md-understanding-the-pathways-to-medical-school/

Pomona also sends significantly more than Amherst to MD PhD programs, which are extremely competitive since they pay for the medical degree.

So… what is your point?

All of these are from CollegeTransition, let's compare one by one, Amherst vs Pomona ranking. People can make up their own mind.

Top business school: 12 : 29
Business school:       64 : 156
Top medical school:  11: 5
Medical school:        9 : 12
Top law school:        2 : 12
Law school:             3 : 38
Tech:                      n/a: 22 (only ranked top 30)
Ph.D.:                    17 : 10 (program quality matters, not just count)

Consulting among LAC: 15 : 2 (From AI: granular headcount of graduates entering the "MBB" firms (McKinsey, Bain, and Boston Consulting Group) each year, 
                                            institutional career data and recruiting pipelines show that Amherst College has a distinct advantage over Pomona in top-tier 
                                            management consulting.)
Wall street:            10: n/a (only ranked top 30, also from AI: If the gap between the two schools in consulting is a visible crack, when it comes to top Wall Street 
                                         firms (Bulge Bracket investment banks like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and J.P. Morgan, plus elite boutique banks), the gap is a 
                                         canyon, Amherst College is decisively stronger than Pomona on Wall Street)

If you can provide MD Ph.D. number/source, that would be nice.
