<p>If there’s a reason to go to LA (concerts, events, etc.), chances are that other students have also discovered it. That being said, it’s pretty easy to find somebody with a car who will be more than happy to offer a ride. I think it’s also worth mentioning that students are pretty active when it comes to attending activities taking place within surrounding communities. For example, Class of 2018 consortium students already created a Facebook group dedicated to discussing concerts around Claremont.</p>
<p>I don’t see anything in your post that instantly screams CMC or Pomona. I think you’d make a great fit at either school so you should definitely consider applying to both. Remember, CMC and Pomona hold the #1 and #2 lowest LAC acceptance rates in the nation, respectively. It’s likely that the school will ultimately choose you.</p>
