My kid was set on it, but then got into an Ivy too so thankfully staying on this coast.

Had to claw mine to choose a lower ivy over it. It didn't work, but it was also their cheapest option, so I can't complain too much.

Yeah, too many California posters.

Luckily, my kid is staying here in DC. California offers nothing he can't get here.

As the parent of a student at another Claremont College, this is great. It needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt, but it definitely offers a little insight into the vibe and reputation of each school.

Oops. I didn't mean to bump this 3-year-old thread. I was trying to find this link to paste into the current CMC thread. Still, it has some gems, like this one from the CMC mock application:

"Describe a circumstance in which you were confronted by a test of personal integrity, a difficult moral decision, or an ethical dilemma, and how it failed to impact you as a person on your ruthless pursuit of profit at all costs."
