Thanks Palmom! As of today, at least, his clear preference is Pomona over Mudd because of fit and other things.

The main question for him now is the quality of Pomona’s physics program, and how successful Pomona physics grads are in getting into graduate physics programs. From what we can tell, the professors who write the recommendations, and the undergrad research a student does, are keys to getting into a good physics Phd program. My son has some other interesting choices outside the Claremont consortium, and I think he’s trying to figure out if Pomona’s physics stacks up to them.

Thank you all for your advice!
