The college is actually located in Claremont, CA and is part of a consortium of 5 colleges.

When you say “the other colleges”, I assume you are talking about the other 4 colleges in the consortium. The school provides a first rate quality education and demanding curriculum with small class size. Although it may be less known outside of the west coast, elite graduate schools know Pomona and its reputation. For example, I read sometime back that Pomona sent a higher proportion of its students to Harvard Law than Columbia or Duke. Pomona created a separate office to handle graduate school admissions. Pomona grads do very well at gaining acceptance into professional schools and other graduate schools. The professors are strong and many have connections to assist with summer internships or job seeking. Most of the students who are accepted have stats that are comparable to any elite college in the nation.

While this response is a limited answer, if you are looking for a great school for pre-med in California, Pomona College should be at or near the top of your list.
