[quote=Anonymous]Your DC has two fantastic options and neither is going to make or break your son's future. Both will get him where he wants to go. Don't listen to anyone who believes there is a clear answer.

Pomona has one of the strongest biology departments among LACs and I have to think that there are no shortage of research opportunities. My kid is a Pomona freshman has been offered internships and other opportunities in both her major and her minor by helpful professors. (I was not afforded such opportunities in my T20 undergrad university.) Pomona is as diverse a university as one will find in America. We are middle-class and not from California. The travel isn't too bad. Pomona runs free shuttles to and from LAX at the beginning and end of the semester and for Thanksgiving, which my kid used. There doesn't seem to be any rich kid/poor kid divide. Pomona kids seem humble and friendly as a whole. Anyhow, I recommend taking advantage of the fly out program. We did so last year and it really helped inform my kid's decision.

To be clear, I'm not advocating for Pomona over Tufts. I just know more about the former. Tufts seems like a great school and Boston seems like a fabulous place to go to college. And I associate Tufts with med school placement, which probably translates to a very strong biology department.[/quote]
