[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a college professor at a large research university, I would definitely encourage my children to apply to and attend LACs over large universities for undergraduate (college) education. Assuming that your child will go onto graduate school, your child's likelihood of obtaining a graduate degree are higher for LAC graduates than graduates of larger universities. Pomona is one of the very best colleges in the country (I would put it up there with Swarthmore, Amherst, and Williams), and it likely does not offer any kind of merit aid. The higher percentage of accepted students at Pomona compared to Stanford is due to the fact that a lot of kids apply to Stanford (or Harvard or Yale), but the kids who apply to top LACs tend to be a pretty self-selecting group. [/quote] This. And thanks for the insight.[/quote]
