<p>My D turned down Berkeley as an instate student and attended Pomona as a full pay student. Absolutely no regrets, the academics, student life, peer networking have been priceless. We would do it again.
RML knows nothing about Pomona’s prestige. It is more well-known outside of CA, especially in the NE where people are more familiar with LACs. My D was employed by a DC firm when she graduated and all the higher ups knew of Pomona’s excellence. In DC, most college grads she encountered knew Pomona as an excellent school. </p>
<p>There were several Pomona students she knew who turned down Stanford as OOS students. Among them is the son of a Nobel Laureate in economics who subsequently sent his younger daughter there as well.</p>

<p>In 2007 a record 24 Pomona seniors plus several alums were awarded research grants or English Teaching Assistantships through the Fulbright process. </p>
<p>RML has made his focus here in CC lauding Berkeley over everything else, but admits he hasn’t even attended that school.</p>
