W&L vs Claremont McKenna - for International Relations and Econ

As others have said, these two schools seem close enough in programs and opportunities that the decision should probably come down to finances.

However, as the mom of a current CMC student, I can tell you that the internship and research opportunities there are astonishingly good. It feels like the school is throwing $$$ at my son! As a first year (considering IR as a major), he’s already doing paid research for a well-known professor. He’s been awarded two CMC internship grants for the summer, including one to spend a month in a foreign country. And he’s already lined up a different paid research for next fall.
