<p>How hard is admission to Pitzer compared to other CA schools?
I'm from the east coast, but am looking at schools out west. I like Pitzer, but dont know too much about it..I was also looking at Santa Clara and some UC schools.
Any input is appreciated</p>
<p>I’m not really sure how to answer this question, but Pitzer is a very competitive school, we are ranked 46th on US News, had a 25% admit rate last year, 20% the year before. You should come out for a visit, or request information from the Office of Admission (can be done online I believe). </p>
<p>Also, look at the Pitzer website to get a better idea of the school. Read the college books, etc. </p>
<p>Compared to other California schools, it’s hard to say, because you can’t really compare small liberal arts colleges to UC’s and other larger universities such as SCU. However, we are a very competitive school, and are among the top liberal arts colleges in California, along with the other Claremont Colleges and Oxy (those are the top liberal arts colleges in California in my opinion, off the top of my head).</p>
<p>If you are looking at LAC in California, also look at Whittier College and Westmont, among others in CA.</p>
<p>Look at US News’s rankings too.</p>
