[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pomona College.  We actually live in Claremont, CA but he will be living on campus.  Hopefully the best of both worlds.  He was given an amazing aid package, too.   [/quote]

My daughter’s dream school. Good luck! [/quote]

Pomona as a city is one of the worst cities in CA. Pomona and San Bernardino are the murder capitals of CA.

I think you're looking for the "What are the murder capitals of each state?" thread.[/quote]

[b]Pomona College is in Claremont, CA and not Pomona, CA.  Claremont is lovely.[/b]  [/quote]

This is one of the biggest problems with Pomona.  No one's ever heard of Pomona College -  outside Pomona.  Everyone's heard about Cal Poly Pomona because their engineering dept. is nationally ranked.    [/quote]

Sure the general name recognition is low, but the people who matter (elite job recruiters, grad schools, fellowships, etc.) have heard of Pomona. Forbes is an outcome based ranking (salaries, representation of leaders in various industries, fellowship winners, PhDs) and has put Pomona in the top 10 among all colleges & universities pretty much every year. LinkedIn has a "similar universities" feature and the six for Pomona C are Harvard, Berkeley, Brown, Stanford, UChicago, and Yale. Wasn't the acceptance rate 6% this year? I don't think you could go wrong by going there.[/quote]
