Pomona vs. UPenn CAS

<p>All I want to know is: Pomona or Penn CAS?</p>

<p>I appreciate all opinions! Thanks!</p>

<p>Obviously for most everyone on this board it would be Pomona! If you could elaborate more on your own personal goals, wants in a college, etc, it will be easier to suggest which one is a better fit for YOU.</p>

<p>I didn’t apply to Penn (was close to it) because I thought it was too pre-professional.</p>

<p>I prefer Pomona’s emphasis on learning how to think, rather than learning for a career.</p>

<p>D toured Penn and chose Pomona because she found Penn to be too big and too urban. Also, it would take some traveling to participate in the consortium with Swat and Haverford.</p>

<p>I could write volumes on the differences between Pomona and Penn CAS. You have to list your priorities here and go from there. What matters to you in life? Yes, it’s one of those moments in your life. Where you go opens so many doors for you, and can really chart the path you take.</p>
