In the words of Alice Cooper, "School's Out For Summer!"
An eerie calm has decended on the campus. Professors are aimlessly walking around trying to find someone to teach. Staff are constantly trying to clean up the mess left behind from commencement. Yet, we in the admission office continue trudging along, albeit with much more parking available.
With no students on campus and three months of quiet ahead of us, CMCNation will unfortunately not be updated as frequently. While we expect the occasional update from students doing interships and travelling overseas, our usual daily updates have dwindled to the occasional posting.
Of course you still have access to all of the previous posts, frequently asked questions, the CMCInsider for recently admitted freshmen and if CMCNation doesn't have enough to capture your interest our partners at the bottom must have something interesting for you to read.
Finally, just as a reminder, the CMC Admission Office is open all summer long Monday through Friday for Group Information Sessions, Campus Tours and Interviews. So if you happen to be in Southern California, feel free to stop by.
Good luck with finals, and hopefully we'll see you on campus soon!

 A small liberal arts college equals small class sizes. While there may be a wariness in some to attend a college where every professor knows you by name and will not hesitate to contact you if you have been absent from class, the benefits, such as a class field trip to Sacramento far exceed the downsides. For example, my 19 person California Politics class recently took a trip to our state’s Capitol. We left late Wednesday night, flew to Sacramento and returned late on Friday night, leaving us two full days packed with meetings. |

As high school seniors, we think highly of that college with the good tour guide, the one where it was sunny during your visit, and the one where that cute girl smiled at you in the dining hall, is the place we should go. We also place a lot of weight on factors in the US News and World Report ranking (yield rate, graduation rate, alumni donations etc). These are examples of bad search mechanisms; they do a bad job of telling you the two things you want to know about a school: the quality of life you’ll enjoy there and the quality of the education you’ll receive. My search mechanism was terrible, and I ended up at a prestigious school that was a bad fit.

As two of the Admissions Office interns for next year, Greg and I can’t wait to migrate from South Quad’s Auen Hall to Wohlford Hall in boisterous North Quad. Six of our friends are living on the “dark side” of Wohlford with us, rooting us in the geographic heart of the Claremont Consortium.
The stress of registration has ended, and both Greg and I both emerged with engaging schedules for next semester. He will be taking Social Psychology, Statistics, Introductory Biology, and Economic Principles. I’m taking Economic Principles and Introductory Biology as well, but am balancing these general education requirements with Education Policy, Skepticism, and British Modernism. Although Education Policy meets on Friday, I’m thrilled to take it because the Professor requires students to complete a case study of a school in Los Angeles by visiting the school and interviewing the principal.

When I was applying to college’s I knew I wanted a liberal arts education because it would give me the best opportunity to grow and learn, but at the same time I knew I wanted to major in economics. CMC’s top-notch economics department, and its commitment to cultivating leaders in business, finance, and government were essential factors in my decision to attend the college. Of course, I entered CMC during the boom year of 2006, and it seemed everyone was getting a great job or internship in finance. What better major to choose than Economics-Accounting with a Financial-Economics Sequence?
