[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pomona is still 7th. I’m not seeing the drop. Carleton is 10.[/quote]

So much pearl-clutching about Pomona dropping one rank below Bowdoin on one biased methodology. Pomona is doing just fine on all fronts - including financially when they raised $82 million, a record in their history - just last month from student/alumni donations:

But now they’re tied with CMC who achieved a billion dollar campaign. I’d give up on Pomona and start looking at cmc if I was a student,[/quote]

Pomona will always be the flagship college that the other 5Cs supplement. Why would someone "give up" on Pomona to go to a different college just because they're tied? Wouldn't it make sense to look at a college ranked higher and not tied? Besides, Pomona has more to offer most students than CMC unless they're narrowly focused on gov or econ. CMC has some rocky days ahead, is looking for a new president, had a weird launch of their new experimental science dept, lost a great teacher due to a freedom of speech debacle, and not long ago had a scandal for falsifying SAT scores to go up the rankings so not sure I trust the data they put out anyway.[/quote]
