[quote=Anonymous]I'm not 12:35 & I also went to Pomona in the 90s. I was deeply involved in Greek life, which doesn't exist anymore. Most of us who were there in the early 90s remember the point at which they flipped from admitting the spiky kids I knew (who were brilliant but typically had super strong interests) to the generally top of your class valedictorian types. There was a real shift that happened.

Agree with a lot of above posters: Pomona was not at all diverse when I attended so I am glad they've improved that. I also have noticed as an alum that this has gone hand in hand with equity initiatives like providing funding for summer internships internally from the college. That's appealing to me as a parent.

My kid was not impressed with the Claremonts except for Harvey Mudd (STEM kid) & didn't end up applying bz they wanted a more urban experience & a bigger school. I loved going there & think for the right kid, having thhe 5 colleges & a tiny college home base with the option to cross register & expand your social network as  you go can be very nice.

Went hiking in the mountains & to Joshua Tree more than I went to the beach, but the warm weather was great. Small classes, teachers & fellow students who still  have deep bonds 30 years later made it a special place. [/quote]
