1A) Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Yale, Princeton

2A) Northwestern, Brown, Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst, *John's Hopkins
2B) Rice, Cornell, Pomona, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Cal, Notre Dame, Emory, Swarthmore, UCLA, Wellesley, WashU St.Louis, Carnegie Mellon

3A) Michigan, NYU, USC, UVA, Tufts, Middlebury, Barnard, GaTech, Bowdoin
3B)UNC, Boston College, W&M, Wake, W&L, Davidson, Haverford, Vassar

Good list.  Should Pomona be 2A though?  I am not the Pomona parent but it is usually mentioned with Amherst and Williams and Niche has it no. 1 SLAC.

[b]Pomona is in the right place.[/b] JHU is a niche medical university so it’s in the right place. If so, CalTech should be downgraded to 2A. CalTech students usually cannot get into Ivy schools. They are just good at math/science. [/quote]

Pomona is more selective than all of these schools in terms of admit rate.  Their admissions percentage was 8% this cycle.  Wellesley was 20%, Emory 18.5%, UC Berkeley 17.1%, Georgetown 16.38%, Notre Dame is 15.8%, Carnegie Mellon 15%, WashU St.Louis 14%, UCLA 12.3%, and UCLA 12.3%.

Closest peers in this group in terms of selectivity (all with higher admit rates) are Rice 11.1%, Cornell 10.55%, and Vanderbilt 9.6%,

Pomona has a lower admit rate than majority of your 1B group  (Penn 9.3%, Duke 9.9%, Chicago 8.7%), and all of your 2A group (Northwestern 9.2%, Brown 8.5%, Dartmouth 10.4%, Williams 13%, Amherst 12.9%,  and John's Hopkins 12.5%).[/quote]

Pomona doesn’t have credibility because the Claremont consortium has a history of cheating with their stats. Anyone who knows how to lie with stats would be the Claremont consortium. [/quote]
