<p>I compiled many "versus" threads....for your reading pleasure.</p>
<p>A few notes.....
- some threads have multiple comparisons
- be aware on which forum each thread is posted. Biases (pro and con) are quite evident if originating from a specific college board. Of course the 'neutral' boards can still be very opinionated.
- some threads are old....2004/2005.
- some thread originators post on several boards, e.g., the Harvard set of 3 three threads.
- 'Claremonts' means comparisons between all 5 undergrad schools...CMC, Pomona, Pitzer, Harvey Mudd, & Scripps.</p>
<p>The CMC vs Pomona topic surely has captivated folks over the years.</p>
