I’m having trouble deciding between these two schools. Does anyone know anything about Pomona’s reputation? How would you compare these two schools? Between the two schools, which do you think could help me more to get into a good business grad school?
<p>I think pomona is a bit higher ranked. However they are both good schools. I'd recommend the one farthest away from where you live.</p>
<p>both GREAT schools and will be viewed as much by grad schools, but Pomona wins for weather if that is a consideration!</p>
<p>My daughter came away with the impression that the social side of things is considerably more evident at Pomona. And a little more, how do I say this, faster action. This was following overnights at both schools.</p>
<p>My impression is they are both great academically, and are both perceived that way by the people that matter.</p>
<p>Pomona is an excellent college and has outstanding academics. It also has the other Claremont colleges to draw upon. Pomona is the LAC version of Stanford, if that means anything. It's ranked comparably with AWS.</p>
<p>Pomona is not higher ranked, actually. Wellesley is ranked fourth, and Pomona is tied for 5th. Not that it matters, especially since they're so close. The main thing here seems to be the co-ed vs. single sex issue- do you care either way? Have you visited both? I've never seen Pomona, but Wellesley's campus is absolutely beautiful. Try to attend the open campuses (campi :-P) for both, and then see where you feel more at home.</p>
<p>Pomona," happiest students " that says a lot and it is very evident in the community spirit. The college has a huge endowment and offers amazing opportunities to students, they subsidize internships</p>
<p>Wellesley also has amazing opportunities. They also have a huge endowment and hoards of alumni scrambling to help out a fellow Wellesley sister.</p>
