Yeah, I don’t want to make a big deal out of “prestige”, but Carleton has a much higher profile where I live than Claremont-McKenna. (Which, to be honest, isn’t hard, since Claremont-McKenna has the profile of a microchip here.) Carleton attracts a lot of great students who want a high-powered LAC, but want to go farther from home than Swarthmore, and don’t love WilliamsAmherst. (The same kinds of kids who might go to Pomona, CMC’s better-known sister-rival.)
