[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh…not like Pomona is known for its CS.  My guess is it is the typical kids all selecting a major that they are told makes them most marketable.

I don’t know many HS kids interested in CS that have Pomona on their list.  Admittedly, the list may be different if you live on the West Coast.[/quote]

This is all wrong. Google used to interview for entry software engineering positions/internships at Pomona. No idea if they still do, but they used to be super picky about schools. The Pomona CS program is well-regarded. [/quote]

But College Factual ranks the CS program at  Pomona way down at 43[/quote]

I think that's a website you can ignore. Their methodology explicitly states they award points to larger schools simply for being larger. Silly stuff. For the vast majority reading this thread, studying CS at Pomona would be a home run. It is true that there's cause for pause if they are resorting to random luck to determine who gets to proceed with the major, but we don't know how many have actually been impacted by that.  Fifteen?  Five?  Zero?[/quote]
