UChicago vs Pomona College vs Amherst College

“@ThankYouforHelp‌ I got this from a couple of my high school’s alumni who are 2nd years at Amherst now. Yeah i should probably state that by 70% i’m including club sports and varsity sports. He mentioned that the amount playing varsity is 30%.”

Guess what. The percentage of students at Chicago who play intramurals or varsity sports is also 70%, but no one would ever accuse the U of C of being a “jock school.”

Again, three great schools. I am an alum of the U of C, and my daughter seriously considered both Pomona and the U of C before choosing to go to Amherst. You won’t go wrong at any of them, so don’t fret. There are differences, of course, but all three are great choices.
