<p>You have the scores and grades to get you in the door and leadership, so it will come down to recommendations and a great essay. Are you planning to swim or play tennis. Pomona is Div 3 and still leaves plenty of time for studies. Connecting with a coach who is in your corner could help a lot. Best of luck. Your scores are already great( I don't see a need to retake them ) but if you do retake they will take the higest of each.</p>
