It's 100% participation there. You have to do research to graduate from TJ. I think the previous poster was trying to say Pomona is not as staunchly a technology and STEM school as Thomas Jefferson [b]High School for Science and Technology[/b], though they didn't phrase it quite right. No one could deny Pomona offers a more comprehensive curriculum, but that's because it's a college, not a high school.

It is sad that LACs aren't recognized for STEM excellence. According to http://www.swarthmore.edu/institutional-research/doctorates-awarded, LACs do exceptionally well for their size in producing STEM academics. That only a handful of the 480 seniors applied to outstanding places like Amherst and Williams is regrettable.
