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]

That peak ranking favors total hires so heavily that it means larger schools are going to look artificially better[/quote]
There’s a per capita ranking.[/quote]
