WEST COAST VS EAST COAST. WELLESLEY VS CMC. plz help me pick by may 1st!
I just don't know what to do... I will most likely be a poli sic/ history/ international relations major and i am hoping to make tons of money after graduating college. Also I want to be accepted into top graduate schools. I might also choose to pursue a law degree. Which college is best? The financial aid package was very similar only ~1000 dollars of difference.
Hmm, I thought I made this post very intriguing and exciting with all caps. Also I was trying to factor how well known each school was into my choice. I know it shouldn't matter but no one has heard of Claremont McKenna College in my entire school.
You need to figure out what is important to you! Yes, Wellesley is more famous. But there is so much more that's important! Make a pros-and-cons list and compare relevant features. Women only / weather / reputation / classes offered in your major / school size... Obviously you had to do some research on these schools.

Which of the above does not fit? Oh, I know! The 'tons of money' part! J/K, but consider a career in finance if you're all about 'tons of money'... the good news is that you can get an MBA after a liberal-arts degree, and both CMC and Wellesley have stellar reputations. So....LA or Boston?
Do not choose on the basis of prestige or on which is more well-known. Prestige or familiarity of the school won't help you get a better education or be happier during your four years in college or even get into a better grad program. Grad programs don't admit students based on prestige or fame of a student's undergrad college.
There are huge differences between CMC and Wellesley: east coast vs. west coast, coed vs. women being just two. You probably know in your gut which school you like better. Follow your instincts.
Where did you grow up? Other things being equal, if you grew up on the east coast go to the west coast for college and vice versa. Broaden your horizons and experience.
