Hey guys, I was wondering… You guys have heard of the Claremont colleges right? The sister schools. The top two that are really into the biological fields are Pamona college and Pitzer. I know a lot more about Pamona and have visited all of the schools. I am just not sure of Pitzer college. It seems like a much easier school for me to get into. The only problem is that it isn’t need-blind which can screw up my hopes for going even if I do get accepted. Pamona on the other hand is need-blind, has the best biology program of all the colleges, but is almost twice as hard to get into. Their acceptance rate was about 15% last year, so very low. Pitzer college on the other hand has about a 25% entrance rate. I am hoping to apply to both schools. I just would love to get some insight on the college itself. Did anyone go there? Anyone go to either colleges and then pursue grad school in premed? If I could just get some more information on the success of each school in terms of admittance to medical school that would be great too. Any comments would also be nice.
