[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who says it is “so special”?[/quote]

US News?[/quote]

OP: it’s extremely hard to get in and very highly ranked, so the question was, what is all the hullabaloo about?[/quote]

Are you pretending to be dumb? Look at what components go into rankings, and you'll see what makes Pomona at or near the top of all the LAC rankings.

If I have to spell it out: Pomona is doing well because relative to other peer LACs, it excels in these factors and many more:
- Graduation and retention rates 
- Selectivity and caliber of the entering students 
- Post grad outcomes and earning potential 
- Students receiving competitive fellowships and/or getting into top med/law/business schools
- Financial aid generosity 
- Diversity
- Financial resources/endowment
- Faculty resources/salaries
- Student satisfaction surveys

Goodness. This thread is embarrassing. All these roundabout conversations that really have nothing to do with anything of consequence.[/quote]

PP, are you pretending to be that dumb?  The 5Cs have been caught no less than 2 times fudging their numbers.  So, there. [/quote]

Hi Pomona troll.  Nice to see you back on another thread.  As we discussed last time, the 5Cs are completely separate entities that share location and resources, so saying “the 5Cs” did anything is meaningless. But of course you remember that from last time you got smacked down by everyone for making these meaningless claims.  [/quote]

Are they completely separate, in the way that Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore are?[/quote]
