I really like CMC, but I am worried that it is too "pre-professional". While I like that the school is "practical", I am hesitant to attend a school where students are simply there to prepare for grad school rather than actually learn for the sake of learning. Does this seem to be a problem at CMC? And do students, who aren't entirely sure of what career they want to have, frowned upon by the driven, practical students?

Thanks again for this thread.

HI.. so when i went to the inside cmc day. Some of the students i talked to mentioned how CMC pays for your gas money or tickets when you want to go somewhere on the weekends. Can you elaborate on that? Also, I do live really close by, but my mom doesn't want me to drive. How can I get around cuz I know public transportation sucks. Does CMC help provide transportation?

THANKS!

is it hard to transfer in? i'm ending my first year at a four-year university and looking to take the next semester off, most likely apply to transfer for spring 2009.

i would recommend just staying in school at your school for the fall, and then transferring into the spring 2009 so you can enter sophomore second semester, and not be behind.

I think the admit rate for transfer is anywhere from 10-17 percent. You may want to check collegeboard.com for the exact numbers.

btw what happens if you dont get into claremont, you have to have backups.

This year they're seeking to enroll 60 transfers which is a significant increase transfer wise. I think our chances improve a bit.

i would stay next semester, but i can't afford tuition anymore. i'm a semester ahead anyway, so i'd just end up being right on schedule

and i'd be applying for different colleges as well, but cmc is my first choice transfer

Bourne - i saw that too, but that's for fall, so hopefully they keep spring admission open!
