Is Pomona College right for me?

seriously considering pomona college as an ED option, but the fact that i’m not 100% set in… well you see the problem. i’m a socal resident and don’t mind staying close to home. over my high school years i’ve changed from wanting to be an anesthesiologist, to an environmental engineer, to a marketing manager/business manager. i know for a fact my wants and needs will definitely change throughout the course of college, but strictly looking at what i hope to achieve at the moment, it is an mba.

although pomona college doesn’t have an undergraduate business school, i still like it because it focuses on pre-professionalism and career development which carries a little more weight when it comes to attaining job experience after graduation. i also know that most jobs go to ucla/usc graduates in the LA area, but that they’re still very accessible to pomona graduates as well.

i’m someone who is open minded, creative, and enthusiastic and would love to have various options open. perhaps double major in economics and biology? or take up a research opportunity over the summer w some professors? if pomona isn’t a good match for me, what would be? others im looking into are johns hopkins, boston college, usc, mckenna, brown, and a handful of uc’s including ucla, sd, and berkeley. let me know!!
