I’m curious about business4sure’s decision. Where did you end up going?
Although you have probably already made your decision because you’re applying ED, I will let you know firsthand that anyone at the Claremonts with a good GPA (preferably 3.5,3.6 or higher) and solid resume and interviewing skills can land an IB offer. There seems to be some confusing information on this thread, but generally the Claremonts place very well in IB for those who are qualified. While it is true that there are several more people interested in finance and IB at CMC, your chances are not hurt by attending Pomona, or any of the other 5Cs for that matter. In terms of your other choices, I’d say Uchicago probably places higher than the other schools. I’d compare Amherst/Williams to the 5Cs in terms of amt. of people they place in IB in their respective coasts, though of course there are those who get offers in NY from the 5Cs and those from Amherst/Williams who go to California. In my opinion, and of course it is biased, Pomona and the 5Cs would be the best choice because you will have good chances with IB while enjoying arguably the best collegiate quality of life and enjoyment that comes with the 5Cs(again biased)
