[quote=Anonymous]There are 5 Claremont Colleges. They're tiny, even for LACs, but they're located right next to one another in a beautiful suburb of Los Angeles. They share resources like dining halls and libraries to give students the high-touch LAC experience with the resources of a larger school. Students can take courses across the colleges and attend social and career events at any of them. They're extremely desirable at the moment with four having acceptance rates under 15%. They are all ranked in the top 35 among liberal art colleges by US News and in the top 25 among liberal art colleges by Forbes. Pomona is usually the highest ranked and was more selective than half the Ivy League by acceptance rate last year; it attracts a comparably smart student body. Claremont is one of the only pre-professional liberal art colleges, and their graduates report the 4th highest median income of any college/university in the country. Mudd has outcomes and a student body as great as Caltech and MIT's undergrad population and generally has the highest salary of any college or university in the country. Pitzer is one of the top producers for Fulbrights and other service-based awards/fellowships. Scripps is considered the best women's college outside of the East coast and generally the second or third best after Wellesley and Smith.[/quote]
