<p>Both are great schools, but I would choose Pomona. However my opinion’s biased because I was admitted ED to Pomona.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that Pomona is stronger that Midd in most math and science disciples, as these areas have been a focus of the college for a long time. Midd recently built a beautiful, new science facility, but I haven’t heard rave reviews about science courses. Plus, at Pomona you can supplement the course offerings with those at Harvey Mudd, an oustanding math and science oriented institution.</p>
<p>Also, you mentioned an interest in getting a job after graduation and pursuing a MBA. I know that Pomona has awseome job placement and many grads get great first jobs on Wall Street. I know that Mckinsey & Co, Merril Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs and others come to recruit on campus. Also, it seems like Pomona has a great relationship with Stanford’s graduate schools, as tons of Pomona alums recieve MBAs from Stanford (which is the #2 b-school by the way). Also, I personally know a Pomona alum who’s currently pursuing his MBA from Harvard. </p>
<p>Strange as this may sound, SoCal is great for skiiers. I love skiing and Pomona’s proximity to Mt. Baldy (30 mins…and it’s much better than the Middlebury Ski Bowl) and Mammoth (approx 3 hours) were major pluses. Also, the outing club sponsers multiple trips to places like Snowbird, Park City, Lake Tahoe, and of course Mammoth each year. East coast snow is becoming very undependable, but the West is still a safe bet for great skiing.</p>
