<p>positive it was complete. his HS does not send out 1st quarter grades unless the colleges calls and asks because the first quarter ends after the 11/1 deadline.</p>
<p>well then, seems like everything is on go------------after your post i called our GC to see if they had called and the GC said no, so I guess your child is still in the running if they are interested in their 1st quarter grades.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be discouraged if they don’t ask for first quarter grades.
I asked my regional reader/adcom if Pomona asked for first marking period grades, and she said no. </p>
<p>I then asked my Guidance counselor. She couldn’t answer since none of her students had applied to Pomona in previous years (we have 6 or 7 GC’s) but she went to ask another Counselor about it. My GC isn’t the friendliest woman, and I was not allowed in the room when my GC asked the other GC about it (odd, I know). My GC then told me that the other GC had told her that they do.</p>
<p>Pretty confusing eh? Well anyway, I later found out that Pomona only asked for the first MP grades of one student out of the two people who were accepted ED last year.</p>
<p>Same inquiry about D recently, which certainly raised the stress level around here! Good to know it’s not clearly the kiss of death, if some people have survived the request in past years.</p>
<p>Are most of the girls applying form CA? Just curious.</p>
<p>I’m a guy applying from NYC
Goodluck you guys. Some decisions for other college are already coming in. It makes me even more nervous</p>
<p>my son is from KS.</p>
<p>Daughter from Texas. No news yet</p>
<p>don’t want to cause undue stress but I saw a USPS truck sitting outside of the admissions hall today.</p>
<p>Thanks lolcats4!
But STRESS STRESS STRESS. I CANNOT WAIT.</p>
<p>lolcats4 thanks for the update!</p>
<p>Daughter from CA, and yes, lolcats4, thanks!!</p>
<p>Right, no stress at all, lolcats!</p>
<p>I hope whoever gets the first letter will post here right away so we can all brace ourselves. Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Why doesn’t Pomona use email?</p>
<p>Amherst doesn’t either. Still waiting.</p>
<p>lolcats, LOL! </p>
<p>fwiw, they called for 1st qtr grades on son last year and he was admitted…</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK everyone!! My daughter is waiting on hearing from Scripps ED so I feel your pain…</p>
<p>Just got the mail today in Northern Cal and got nothin’ from Pomona…</p>
<p>Be patient, my d did not get the ED package last year until the 19th or so I think, East coast. Good luck!</p>
<p>No mail from Pomona today!!! Sad long faces here.</p>
<p>Nothing here either. I think Monday is the day they’ll begin arriving, so no sad faces yet!</p>
