[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only on USNews is Princeton the number 1 university. It’s all BS factors created to surprise people. Williams isn’t even the most sought after lac, but we’re expected to just agree that it’s #1 and has been for decades?[/quote]

Which is the most sought after LAC if not Williams?  [/quote]
Pomona by yield and acceptance rate for a while. It’s not even the most applied to LAC.[/quote]
Pomona also leads in cross-admits and receives the most ED applications of any LAC by a sizeable margin, both of which are reflective of its relative desirability among LACs. That said, I don't think any WASP school stands out above the others as a general matter. While they are much more similar than different, each school offers students something special. And, for that matter, so do most other top LACs like Bowdoin, Carleton, CMC, Wellesley, and Mudd.[/quote]

More a function of it being one of the only SLACs in the state and the region (other than perhaps CMC)? California has a lot of people, and Pomona is one of the only options when it comes to attending a prestigious LAC. The northeast is saturated with lots of competition. Pomona has a monopoly on the California market (and perhaps entire southwest market), including lots of high stats Asian kids who want to stay close to home.[/quote]
More a function than what exactly? I don't understand your argument or what it's supposed to mean in connection to Pomona. And I especially don't understand the reference to Asians. [/quote]
