Opinions on Claremont McKenna?

<p>

There are several hundred (or more) four year colleges in the country. Most people have never heard of most of them. What matters is that the school can teach what you want to learn and help you achieve your professional and personal goals. For quantifiable data, what matters is graduation rate, job placement rate, grad school placement rate, etc. See if she will be happier when you research those for CMC and show her the results.</p>

<p>Also, the schools that people <em>have</em> heard of are usually known because of their sports teams or because they’re the most famous schools in the country. Sports teams aren’t necessary to your career plans, and while the most famous schools can help open doors for you, their fame means that you’re competing with way too many people and getting IN is quite difficult for everyone.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
