Actually, I know a lot about the reative strenghs of the two schools. I am a Pomona alum, my son has just been admitted there, and it is a great school. I second the opinion that each school “fits” a different person. But Oclement’s claim that Pomona is better at “everything else” is way off base. In science, HMC surely has the better claim, except possibly in the health sciences, neuro and integrated programs. HMC’s strenght in Math (the language of science) puts it clearly ahead in all areas of “hard” or technical science. Curricular balance is a key question that SDMOM of 3’s son needs ot ask himself.
