[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP-my DC attends Pomona and is a Chemistry major. The Chem department is robust and offers a ton of personalized mentoring and early exposure to research opportunities, which is imperative for getting into grad school or med school, whatever the goal may be (Pomona is highly known to Ivy League grad schools too and has a strong presence at Harvard Med, so all of this talk about being trapped on the West Coast forever is a bunch of baloney.) In fact, a lot of my kid’s friends are from the East coast, esp NYC. There is a senior thesis requirement so if you start research early you can carry it on all 4 years to have a meaningful thesis. The kids can cross enroll at all of the other colleges and the consortium is truly unique given the proximity of the other schools. It didn’t feel as small as other NESCAC’s we looked at and not as much divide between athletes and non athletes as many complain about at Williams and Amherst. The weather is also a big draw and the fact that you can escape for the weekend to go to the beach, ski, hike, explore LA, go to Disneyland, etc.  We are thrilled our DC is having such a great experience there, it’s a wonderful place to spend 4 years! Good luck on your college search![/quote]
