Much more similar than not, both amazing schools. [/quote]

Exactly. "...the narcissism of small differences is the idea that when people ... have a lot in common, they can actually be more likely to fight with each other and mock each other, because they become overly sensitive to small differences they notice in one another and treat those differences as bigger than they are.

What is actually similar? Amherst is an ivy adjacent lac grad school feeder and IB feeder with a strong New England culture and dedication to the humanities.

Meanwhile, Pomona is an okay liberal arts college on the west coast that got popular recently, had a dedication almost entirely to stem and very poor humanities programs, and 1/50 the alumni group quality of Amherst.[/quote]

This is pretty spot on[/quote]
It’s funny because Amherst is shit for IB[/quote]
+1, Williams, CMC, Middlebury… a lot of better options[/quote]

Please list your source, college transition said otherwise, AI said same.[/quote]
College transitions
Literally the first thing that comes up when you look up investment banking feeders: https://www.peakframeworks.com/post/ib-target-schools

Even in college transitions, Claremont McKenna beats out the other LACs.[/quote]

I am sorry, here is your quote "+1, Williams, CMC, Middlebury… a lot of better options".

And from your link, by percentage ranking is 'CMC, W, A, M' for 5, 12,13,14. By elite IB percentage ranking is 'W, A, M, CMC'. (63%,58%, 56%, 28%)
I would say all 4 are pretty even, where do you see ' a lot of better options'?

Your assumption that I’m the same poster is wrong. But the list does clearly show that those schools are ranked above Amherst. It’s also weird because the original quote this is all based off of is that Amherst is so much more elite than Pomona, which is obvious nonsense.[/quote]

You are referring ranking by numbers, yes, you are right, but, that's just not a scientific ranking. Fordham is better than all 4 here, what's point? BYU, Western(what heck is it) all are ahead.

BTW, ignore the troll about A is much more elite than Pomona, but A is indeed better than Pomona.[/quote]
Depends on what you want to do. Pomona is better than Amherst at a decent amount of fields. Amherst is your go to if you need to stay east coast and want to do law [/quote]
