I see what you did there: you just wanted to connect pms to Swat.

Okay? You didn’t combat my point. Please work on your reading comprehension.
New poster, here. You made a claim without any support about lack of “top talent” from SLACs. Do you have evidence for this assertion? I went from a top 10 SLAC to a fully funded top 5 PhD program. SLACs were extremely well represented in my cohort.
You will not find lac grads at the top PhD programs in STEM.
Evidence?
It's not true. My D went to Pomona and these were some of the PhD destinations from peers in his graduating class
Astrophysics Berkeley
Math MIT
Math Berkeley x 2
Math Stanford
Chemistry Princeton
Chemistry CalTech
Chemistry Stanford
CS Carnegie Mellon
MD PhD Harvard
Pomona has not had a math major go to MIT in the last Decade…
The one I know is in class of 2018 (Pomona) so, actually, they have.
So mythical people
Several people above have posted links to Pomona grads at MIT right now. You've lost this one, buddy. Beat it.
LinkedIn profiles with no photo and identifiable information. It’s really obvious these are bot accounts.

Right…
I also looked it up and yes, there was a 2018 math major from Pomona who went to MIT for a PhD in operations research.

Here are a few more MIT STEM PhDs from Pomona within the last 10 years, based on a quick google search.

So, these are all ghost profiles?
Pomona has a ton of hypms grad students/alumnae. Prob one of the highest per capita of any school. I can’t believe someone would repeatedly try to assert otherwise.

-100, we’re living in a time where connections outside the us can be extraordinarily helpful. It’s also not like Oxford and Cambridge are random schools in other countries.

Pomona is trying to avoid a lawsuit by refusing to show their DEI admit percent for class of 2029, pathetic: https://www.pomona.edu/news/2025/09/12-pomona-college-class-2029-profile

Having access to fellowships that don’t exist if you don’t matriculate to that school is a pretty smart reason to attend a college.
100%. From my understanding, Pomona students get selected for a free masters at Cambridge, and that seems like a fantastic opportunity. It’s amazing what the top lacs and universities provide for students.

+1 Amherst also has an Oxford direct enrollment program. DC plans to attend junior year.
