[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like Pomona more than Northwestern, Rice, Vanderbilt, and WashU.

National universities are more widely known but that doesn't always mean they have a better reputation.  For example, there is a recent thread arguing about whether Vanderbilt is prestigious or not.  Think about that.

Once you realize you might be overestimating the "prestige" of some national universities, schools like WASP start to look very attractive.[/quote]

Only of your kid wants a very small environment and no meaningful athletics. [/quote]
That includes a lot of people, so It's not really a bad thing. FWIW, Pomona is the size of 8000 students, bordering 9000-10,000 in the upcoming years, due to the consortium. If they can't handle that small of an environment, they probably won't be able to handle most of the ivies either.[/quote]

What?  It’s less than 8000 for the entire consortium and Pomona itself is quite small.  Why go to a consortium when you can just go to a top school with 5000 to 10000 students?  They are called unicorn schools for a reason.  Pomona is great if you want a slac.  Most kids don’t.[/quote]
