[quote=Anonymous]This article may be helpful: if the survey of students is to be believed, Pitzer is very, very liberal; followed by Harvey Mudd; Claremore and Pomona fairly similar (at a 4-5 to 1 liberal to conservative ratio). There are SOME selective colleges that are more evenly balanced, but not a ton.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a pecking order within the Claremont colleges or are they really considered to be the same, with different areas of focus? For instance, is Pomona considered to be the best because it’s the oldest and most selective? [b]Is the easiest one to get in looked down upon by the others?[/b][/quote]

I don’t really understand the question.  My kid went to Pitzer because he wanted to major in Environmental analysis and do the CASA program.  He took classes at Pomona and all the other schools.  He had friends from all schools.  He never experienced any issues related to “pecking order.”  [/quote]

Is Pitzer the most liberal?[/quote]
They’re all very liberal- even CMC. If you care about that sort of thing, look at W&L. The order isn’t really existent as much as the major.

CMC is best for economics, government, religious studies/philosophy, and history.
Harvey Mudd is best for engineering, computer science, and physics
Pomona is best for mathematics, neuroscience, biology/chemistry.
Scripps is for the humanities and art 
Pitzer for Environmental Analysis/Sociology/anthropology[/quote][/quote]
