<p>xiggi what you say probably is true for many LAC’s but in California many top college applicants know students that are attending both CMC and Pomona. My children and their classmates were well aware of the reputations of the two schools as we know many families with students went there. The types of students attracted to the schools is quite different. The onlyr thing I would disagree with is that universally the students that attended Pomona or CMC said that classes at Pitzer were much easier in general. </p>
