Hello-

I am enamored with CMC's focus on leadership, small class sizes, and top-notch Econ department. I am a non-traditional student, and plan on applying this Spring as a transfer. Are there many non-traditional students at CMC? Being 24, would I feel totally out of place at CMC?

Thank you for the info.

If you consider yourself non-traditional, Pitzer or Reed might be a better fit for you.

What do you mean by nontraditional? If you just mean being older than most college students, then I don't think you should have too much trouble fitting in at CMC. It might be easier to fit in at a big university with lots of grad students and other older students, but I don't think CMC would be worse than any other small residential liberal arts college in that regard.

I am 24, so I am not substantially older than the average college age, but older none the less. I figured a larger university would probably be a better fit, I have just come to really like CMC.

I will have to look into Pitzer and Reed, thank you.

I think UCLA Band Mom interpreted "non-traditional" as eccentric, not slightly-older-than-college-age. I don't think she meant to imply that Pitzer or Reed were better choices for older students. stick with CMC if it's what you're looking for!

superdigg,

There must have been a miscommunication; I do not think I am any more or less "eccentric" than the average person. Thank you for the advice. I plan to visit the campus and speak with some admissions people within the next week or so. Everything I hear about CMC seems so fitting for me.

Thanks!
