[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pitzer College. The acceptance rate is low, but the academic standards for getting in aren't as rigorous as the other Claremont Colleges (they're the only test optional member). You get access to all the other colleges within walking distance, their shared employment events/courses/social life (much more impressive/robust than a stand alone LAC), and you can even major in another member school altogether.

This is a very young school (founded in the 1960s) that has climbed the ranks and currently ranks #33 on US News and #59 on Forbes. It's going to continue climbing up and eventually be unattainable for an average-academic student to be admitted into, as the rest of the Claremont Colleges currently are.

Are you mad - Pitzer is a top college in CA.  People on DCUM have no idea what average is.  You know a kid who gets good grades, does activities, gets a 23 on the ACT - where does that kid go - somewhere average - [/quote]

You wouldn't have to report the 23 since they're testing optional. If you're a good fit for the sort of student they're seeking, you could definitely get in with the profile described.

OP asked for an up and coming school, not an average school, where a student with average credentials could be admitted now that they wouldn't be later. Pitzer IS a great school- I acknowledged that with their good rankings. [/quote]
