[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't an uncommon two colleges to be caught between ([url]https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/60/1222104.page[/url]). I don't fully get why, since Pomona and Williams seem like polar opposites to me, but you know everyone's different. Pomona if you want a fun, focused student body, a bit politically active, more options, and are fine with ending up at UCSF, Berkeley, Stanford and quite a few kids researching over at Rockefeller. Williams if your kid is serious, prestige-driven, exceptional, and will end up at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Penn. Williams made Anna Christina De Ozorio Nobre and Pomona made Jennifer Doudna. Heavier science student culture at Pomona, but heavier ACADEMIC culture at Williams.[/quote]

No.  Yale made Nobre and Harvard made Doudna.[/quote]
[quote]Doudna was an undergraduate student at Pomona College in Claremont, California, where she studied biochemistry.[6][7] During her freshman year, while taking a course in general chemistry, she questioned her own ability to pursue a career in science, and considered switching her major to French as a sophomore.[24][6] However, her French teacher suggested she stay with science.[6][24] Chemistry professors Fred Grieman and Corwin Hansch at Pomona had a major impact on her.[/quote]
[quote]“I am grateful to Pomona every day, honestly,” Doudna told Pomona College Magazine a few years back, “because it was a liberal arts education that exposed me to so many ideas that I would never have come in contact with, probably, without having attended Pomona.”[/quote]
Doudna seems pretty damned proud to be a Pomona alum; she was even a trustee.[/quote]
