Hi! I got into both - Claremont McKenna for integrated sciences (brain/learning/decision making) and into WashU college of arts and sciences (I applied public health but the letter doesn’t give a major). I attended the cmc admitted students day and had amazing convo with students and and even the head of curriculum (we chatted about the med-school readiness their curriculum provides given all the complaints I found online) and I feel really assured I’ll have everything I want for med school. my con is that they’re known for leadership and Econ primarily. Lots of research opportunities and a great alumni network but idk. WashU, on the other hand, it’s really tempting because its attached to a med school, hospital and has a really good name behind it. Everyone knows washu but few know cmc. I haven’t had the chance to speak with washu faculty or friends so I don’t have much of an opinion yet.
