BUT I DONT CARE!!! :) thank you all for your support, i cant wait until next year!</p>

<p>Kosuke,</p>

<p>I just have to write to congratulate you on your acceptance. I have been on pins and needles, hoping you would get your dream! </p>

<p>My son got his fat envelope in TN today; so neat to see the lounging Sage Hen on the return address!</p>

<p>All the best to you and to other admittees!</p>

<p>waitlisted</p>

<p>Rejected... :( Now, I can only hope for CMC, anyone else apply there? I did get in to Pepperdine today, however.
ACT - 30
GPA - ~4.1w (3.844uw)
ECs - good, i thought...
Recs - only saw 1, and it was good. don't know about the other</p>

<p>Congrats Kosuke!!! I was nervous for you, too!</p>

<p>I was anxious to open my mailbox today... and there were many big fat envelopes-- too bad none were for me. No thin envelopes for me either, so I guess that's good. We'll see tomorrow!!! yikes!</p>

<p>Congratulations to all!! Collegeboundjen, my D is in the same boat as you, rejected Pomona, accepted at Pepperdine and waiting on CMC. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you both. Is CMC your first choice now?</p>

<p>in. </p>

<p>now i can die happy. :-D</p>

good recs and essaysss..
heavily recruited for men's soccerr...</p>

<p>My S got the fat envelope today. And the fin aid was quite nice.</p>

<p>I got waitlisted, which makes me EXTREMELY proud of myself (even though odds are...I wont get in later on)</p>

<p>A huge congratulations to those who were accepted.</p>

<p>Those who were waitlisted as well: You are all prodigies in my eyes and I'm sure you'll be somewhere great and you'll love it! </p>

<p>I'm praying for Pitzer. Go Claremont Colleges!</p>

<p>I got the huge envelope in the mail today. OH MAN! i've been celebrating for hours.
I'm pretty surprised i got in. I thought I wasn't going to get in so i blocked it out of my mind for the last month.
My SAT: 1360
SAT II: 760/710/670
GPA: 4.13
I didn't have any extra curriculars until junior year, but they're okay now.</p>

<p>I think my interview, my letters of rec and my essays got me in. They were all really good. Also, the fact that I was born in Mexico probably helped.</p>

<p>And the financial aid isn't bad either. I wasn't expecting any.</p>

<p>Congrats to all others that got in!</p>

<p>spikedsoymilk: im in the same position as you. just proud to make the waitlist, now waiting on pitzer. the other schools i applied to definitely have psychological advantage now, pitzer is taking so long.</p>

<p>Accepted </p>

<p>I'm in Los Angeles, I got it during spring break last week.
Full scholarship too.

GPA: 4.22
Good Essay, Great Recs and Ecs</p>

<p>Congrats everybody else who got in also!!!</p>

<p>a full scholarship? I think i may have gotten that as well but I'm actually still trying decipher the financial aid letter, did your sjust have a pell grant, pomona scholarship, and pomona college employment program?</p>

<p>rock--> I got the Cal Grant also since I live in California
Did your financial aid packet cover everything?</p>

<p>it was this (year total): </p>

<p>Federal Pell Grant 4050
Pomona Scholarship 37,574
Student Employment 1,700</p>

<p>Total 43,324</p>

<p>the letter said the award is based on a total estimated cost of $43,374 inc. travel, which is only 50 shy so yeah, i guess so. but elsewhere in the financial aid packet it said that we can expect to have loans of 4-5 k for junior and senior year, so I'm still looking at about 10 k of debt/loans (which is realllly good i know compared to most)</p>

<p>my package was similar with the Pomona Scholarship covering about $30,000 and cal grant covering the rest. I'm looking at Pomona as a 3rd choice behind Stanford. I doubt I'll get into any of the Ivy Leagues I applied to.</p>

<p>I was accepted.</p>

<p>I have 35 ACT, SAT IIs of:
790 Writing
780 Biology
770 US History
670 World History
640 Literature</p>

<p>GPA of 3.95 UW
Class rank 2/97 at an average public school
Now that I've re-read my essays I think they are bad.
One excellent rec, one unknown rec (probably pretty good)
Decent ECs - I did mention that I cofounded a student newspaper - that's probably what put me over the edge</p>
