Admitted Students Day was great fun. I posted about it on the other thread. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pomona-college/1754408-admitted-students-visitation-days.html#latest. I don’t really know much about Dartmouth but we toured UCLA. It’s an excellent public university but very different from Pomona. I have a niece who attended UCLA and loved it but my D definitely preferred the LAC setting and the benefits of the Claremont consortium. Like Xiggi said, listen to your heart you’ll quickly know when you do your visits. Come back and let us know what you decide. You and the OP on this thread are fortunate to have wonderful choices.
