[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's a "Boston College"?[/quote]

Is this sarcastic or have you really never heard of Boston College? You're like the PP who had never heard of Scripps...you guys need to do some serious research before you and your kids head into the college application process![/quote]

Not the PP, but calm down.  BC has certainly come up in the world, but it is not in the same league as the Claremont Colleges.[/quote]

LOL. Very few people on a easy coast know the Claremont colleges - they are regional. [/quote]

Actually - no.  We are all from the east coast and DD's first choice two years ago was Claremont McKenna but she didn't get in.  Two kid's for DS's class are going to Pomona (I think) and Harvey Mudd.  There are big in the private school world maybe as they are very expensive and selective.   [/quote]

+1 Another strictly East Coast family who not only knew of the Claremont Colleges but had a kid rejected from one!  They are top liberal arts colleges and very selective.  Beautiful campuses and near perfect weather.  [/quote]

Ok. There are our few. Thanks for checking in.

A few.  Not our few, moron.[/quote]

Nope - those are "our" requisite few from DCUM.  Check.

The vast majority of applicants on the East Coast have not heard of them.  They might fill some niche for private school kids who couldn't quite get into Ivies, but that doesn't make them generally well-known.

I briefly considered Harvey Mudd myself, but it wasn't as strong in my particular area of focus.
