| Son filled out his paperwork and it's in the mailbox today -- Pomona. Turned down UCLA, Cal, Northwestern, Wash U and CMC. On the Pomona versus UCLA subject I will throw this in. My oldest son graduated from UCLA two years ago with an Econ major. When I asked him if he thought his brother should go to UCLA or Pomona he said he felt he should go with smaller classes. He said in a class of 400 he might be the one that falls behind. In a small class at a place like Pomona that just isn't going to happen. My oldest son wasn't free to take upper division courses outside his major at UCLA because they were given priority to those within the major. He didn't have an advisor who knew him and had a relationship with him and I think that's important. Socially, he loved UCLA -- he loved the sports, etc. But he didn't have enough guidance in selecting courses, etc. |
