Looking only at CMC, Pomona, Pitzer and Scripps (Mudd is a special case) the primary difference is not so much the education at each of the colleges as it is the student body. Each school attracts a different kind of person.



Exactly, and that is the basis upon which each of the schools was originally founded. Pomona was an all around Liberal Arts College, Scripps emphasized art, music & humanities, Pitzer emphasized behavioral studies, Harvey Mudd emphasized science and engineering, and CMC emphasized government, business & econ. Different types of people went to each college based upon the different programs offered. Choosing between the schools is so much more than just picking which one has the highest SAT scores.
