You’ll get outstanding professors at any of those schools.

I think the main difference is here is that they are completely different. Pomona is a liberal arts school, Harvard is grad-focused. Pomona is smaller. Personally, I would rather go to Pomona because there is no grad department (no TAs), the classes are smaller, and it isn’t hard to have a good relationship with a professor. Those were all academic reasons. Theres also the consortium and a variety of other huge benefits with Pomona (not that there aren’t with Harvard). Choose where you want to go to school based on what you want.
