I think the differences between CMC and Occidental are greater than what you portrayed. If you are interested in majoring in economics, accounting, finance, govt, international relations, the programs at CMC are more diverse and have far greater resources than what is available at Occidental. CMC has the research institutes, the PPE program, the Athenaeum and an excellent intern program that is far more extensive than what is offered at Occidental. Furthermore, the CMC career office is one of the best in the country and the companies in the investment banking, finance, consulting and in the corporate world generally that recruit on campus are not going to be available at Occidental. There is a pre-professional focus at CMC that is quite different than what you would see at Occidental. if you desire a career in business, finance or in the public sector, I think CMC would be a better fit. To be honest, Occidental is closer to Pomona than CMC.

Also, Occidental is very liberal and CMC is far more politically balanced.
