<p>Thank you for your comments! I just had a very good conversation with my dad about what my family is able and willing to pay. He says that based on past Net Price calculations we’ve done, my parents will be able to pay the EFC at any of these schools. He encouraged me to focus on academic and community fit.</p>
<p>GeekMom63, I have not looked at Harvey Mudd as much as some of the other Claremont Colleges because I truly don’t know if I will major in a STEM field - right now, it’s only one of multiple interests that I’m interested in exploring further at the collegiate level. The whole CC system seems very interesting, though, and I like the idea of being able to take classes at Harvey Mudd through cross-registration if I do end up focusing on STEM.</p>
<p>M’s Mom, thank you! Grinnell sounds promising, and I will definitely check it out.</p>
<p>warblersrule, what interesting lists! This seems like a good starting point in comparing programs, thank you! I visited Bowdoin over spring break and liked it very much. It’s good to know that it has strong programs in some of my areas of interest.</p>
