I hear that Claremont McKenna College is a pretty good college. But the thing is if I take a look at the best and most highly ranked liberal art colleges, CMC seems to have the shortest history of all: established in 1946. I’m not saying a school with a short history is always bad or even superficial in its school style, moral and spirit, but CMC’s such a short period of development kind of bothers me, making me not sure if I want to apply or not. Another thing is that CMC is in California. Asian myself, I prefer the Northeastern areas to California because as diverse it is in California, I don’t like an environment where Asian students have too big of a ratio. Does CMC have a tremendous amount of Asian students just like those other schools or those UCs? Does everybody think it’s worth applying for?
