[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a lightly subscribed major such as philosophy, you may want to consider the size of the philosophy communities at potential choices. As a rough indicator for this, these are the numbers of graduating first majors in philosophy in a recent year (e.g., https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?q=Claremont+McKenna&s=all&id=112260#programs) for the schools you have named along with two others that have been suggested: Hamilton: 11 Wesleyan: 10 Amherst: 8 Middlebury: 8 Pomona: 7 CMC: 6 Williams: 4 Bowdoin: 3[/quote] To add, here's the size of each college Hamilton: 2053 (0.5%) Wesleyan: 3000 (0.33%) Amherst:1914 (0.4%) Middlebury: 2800 (0.29%) Pomona: 1732 (0.4%) CMC: 1381 (0.4%) Williams: 2101 (0.19%) Bowdoin: 2044 (0.15%)[/quote] With these percentages, the order then appears like this: Hamilton CMC Amherst Pomona Wesleyan Middlebury Williams Bowdoin [/quote] OP we toured all these and removed Hamilton and Amherst from the lists. Wes is a step below top choices (right now), and another decision will be if he does ED2 to Wes if ED1 doesnt work out or play it out in RD. probably the latter but not sure.[/quote]
