<p>I’ve visited both schools and I must say I had a better time at wesleyan (though I must be careful as it only represents a given day in a given school year). That said, what’s keeping CMC on my radar is it’s ‘leadership emphasis’ (which I agree with you, is a little ambiguous and starting to seem like a gimmick rather than a tangible factor) and the potential of CMC - being a relatively new college and already rising through the ranks (currently ranked 11 according to us news, one spot higher than Wesleyan.) it really reminds me of the early stages of Bowdoin, being relatively quiet a couple of years back and really exploded to the college scene this year. I also do agree with you in that Pomona overshadows CMC in both reputation and <em>ahem</em> campus rationing ratio. However at the end note, I guess it is the brimming potential of CMC that makes it hard for me to let it go.</p>
