I’m waitlisted at Pomona, accepted to CMC. I loved both schools when I visited, but after looking at each school individually I think i like the practicality of CMC more --the Ath was also a huge bonus. I talked to Pomona students who themselves are moderately liberal --they felt that the lack of diverse opinions was too stifling. I love debate, even when it’s with viewpoints I highly disagree on, and I think CMC will provide that. I’m not a fan of partying/drinking,etc, but I’m hoping that won’t be a problem… from many of the CMCers I talked to from the admitted student group, many of us don’t party/drink either!
