[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What other top colleges limit / restrict who can major in CS? My DC at a STEM magnet had pomona on their list. I don't think Pomona is very transparent about this with prospective applicants.[/quote] Middlebury has no restriction, but overenrollment and faculty retention have made it so much fewer classes are being offered. Swarthmore has had significant enrollment issues for years and currently caps the amount of CS classes you can take to 8, and you have to join a lottery to join another. Haverford has lotteries and course caps and also has been struggling with cs overcrowding and hiring issues for years. I kind of respect Pomona faculty for putting its foot down and addressing that they will not stretch professors and class space thin for overcrowded classes, which is not the point of a 90k/year education[/quote]
