Hi, I’m actually in sort of the same situation as you. I got into Pomona and CMC this year and have decided to go to Pomona. I saw there were several advantages that Pomona has over it’s neighbour when I visited; more beautiful campus, better name recognition/more prestigous, more academic (I’m actually going to major in Econ/Pol Sci (which is CMC’s strong suit) but I learn’t I can take most of my classes at CMC anyway, and I’ll still get a degree from Pomona).

To put it in context, I also turned down Berkeley, Duke, Columbia and Princeton for Pomona.
