it looks like there’s a lot of simmering resentment in this section lately.

Kaydad, I don’t think madjoy meant that exclusively. a lot of kids probably do go to Wesleyan for the prestige and because they think that will help them make money. a lot of kids probably also go there because they visited and fell in love with the school for reasons that had nothing to do with money or social elevation. it’s probably the same for many similar colleges.

as for pomona vs wesleyan, I have no idea about professional school placement. wesleyan is tops in its economics department, apparently. i don’t know much about pomona, but its neighbor school, claremont mckenna, is much more well known for its economics program. since those schools are all connected, i’d imagine most people at pomona who want to go into business take more classes at cmc than at pomona. make sense?
