I'm sorry folks at other schools look down on Scrippsies but thats more a reflection of them (and most likely their sexism). We know a straight woman there who loves the place. I'm pretty sure lesbians are not in the majority at Scripps. News & World Report also releases individual graduate program rankings for the Claremont Graduate University, with several of its programs ranking in the top tier of graduate programs nationwide. News & World Report in fall 2012, the "5Cs" were ranked among the top 50 colleges in the United States: Pomona College (#4), Claremont McKenna College (#10), Harvey Mudd College (#12), Scripps College (#24), and Pitzer College (#43). Here's the rankings:Īccording to the American Liberal Arts College rankings released by U.S. If you are looking at the Claremont colleges, you should attend the one with the best ranking that suits your interests.
A relative went to Scripps and hated it because of the full out lesbian activity in the dorms - she felt in the minority and unwanted being hetero. Pitzer was no grades at the time I applied which would have spelled doom for anyone doing grad work (no record). I got in to both Pomona, Scripps and Pitzer - I thought about enrolling through Scripps beause of the beauty of the dorms - and taking classes everywhere else but it really doesn't work out that way in the end.
But Scripps students who took a lot of classes at CMC also sometimes transferred to CMC. It appeared to me that the Scripps students were the ones the most likely to take advantage of the ability to enroll in classes at another college. Similarly- I would have failed a math course at Harvey Mudd. It was very unusual to have a Pitzer student enrolled in a CMC class. I went to CMC, I took virtually all of my classes at CMC. The rigor of the courses at each college similarly varies. The quality of students admitted varies between the colleges. It seems that each of the schools allow students to take up to 50% of their course load from other "Claremont Colleges," so wouldn't that even out differences among the colleges?
