@Geocach:If you think Claremont McKenna is a match, or even a ‘safety,’ as alluded to by one of the posters,you’re either operating with bad…ie,… old…information,or you’re receiving inaccurate advice. As i’ve pointed out a couple of times on this site, Claremont McKenna and Pomona are tied for the lowest acceptance rate (9.76%) of any LAC in the country for class of '19, .while Harvey Mudd (another of the Claremonts) generally battles with CalTech over the school with highest SAT scores.
“…@collegebobollege thanks. All of the Claremont schools have lower acceptance rates than some of the schools I put down. Do you think applying to Cornell was a good choice? I’m just not sure if I should’ve applied somewhere harder if it’s a low reach. Sorry, not trying to sound unappreciative or anything, I was just trying to get into the BEST school I could.”
Actually,of the nine schools you listed, the only two with lower acceptance rates than Claremont are Princeton and
U of Chicago…I’ not trying to discourage you…just think its important to give you accurate information…best of luck to you.
BTW I’ve listed the most current acceptance rates for the nine colleges on your initial list, below:
- Cornell- CALS Applied ED 14.9% Claremont Mckenna 9.76%
- U Penn 9.9%
- Dartmouth 10.3%
- Vanderbilt 11%
- UC Berkeley 17.3%
- Northwestern 13%
- UCSD 33.5%
- Princeton 7%
- U Chicago 7.8%
