<p>Did anyone get a call from Pomona to say you were accepted off the waitlist?</p>
<p>Last year I saw several posts around this time. But maybe their yield is higher this year and they won't be accepting anyone off the waitlist.</p>
<p>ACCEPTED FROM THE WAITLIST! I JUST GOT MY EMAIL! YES YES YES YAYAYAYAYAY</p>
<p>THANK YOU POMONA =)</p>
<p>I think I'm going to hyperventilate now</p>
<p>D.T., this is kind of an awkward question, but are you a boy or a girl?
because I was told that when pomona goes to the waitlist, they usually look to add a few more y-chromosomes to the class, because of the gender imbalance that's so common nowadays in liberal arts colleges. if you're a girl, that gives me a little more hope for getting off the waitlist too.</p>
<p>(thats not to imply that boys get off the waitlist only because of their gender. it just helps.)</p>
<p>mis_fitz,</p>
<p>I'm a boy. Yeah it's no problem, I'm aware of the advantage that we have sometimes. This isn't what you wanted to hear but still, good luck to you for getting off! </p>
<p>According to my friend who was waitlisted at Harvard, an officer at harvard told him that normally Jun 13 is the "cut-off" date for waitlisters. So there's still time.</p>
<p>Congratulations, D.T.! My son is a 2010 and has really enjoyed his first year.</p>
<p>Thanks! It's a dream come through. Now here comes the work...haha</p>
<p>don't forget about the play part...</p>
<p>Oh yeah chopsticks, I won't haha =) Now I'm pondering over which OA trip to sign up for. I noticed priority is given to students who sign up by May 1? Ugh lol</p>
<p>I got pulled off the waitlist too! I am so freakin happy right now! I got a call from them and they told me the news, I am so excited to go!</p>
<p>Congratulations - I wonder whether your earlier posts about Pomona being your "#1 choice" helped - never know who might be watching these threads... (helps their yield rate to know you'll accept their offer of admission - sorta like binding early decision...)</p>
<p>Congrats too! Euphoria is in the air baby...haha</p>
<p>Does anyone else have any new information (or words of encouragement)? I have been in a state of perpetual anxiety since April...</p>
<p>Pomona is my dream school and I would go there in a heartbeat if offered admission, but I recognize that the odds of getting in off the waitlist are quite low.</p>
<p>Good luck to my fellow waitlistees - even though you are my competition as well.</p>
<p>According to a WSJ article today <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB117927557746304211.html?mod=hpp_us_at_glance_pj%5B/url%5D">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB117927557746304211.html?mod=hpp_us_at_glance_pj</a>, Pomona will take (has taken?) only 6 people off its wait list this year...</p>
<p>Don't you find it a bit interesting that 2 of the 6 posted on this thread? Either that's a crazy coincidence, or something ain't right with those numbers.</p>
<p>Have all the 6 waitlist spaces been filled already?</p>
<p>Again, does anyone have any new information? I called a little over a week ago and they said they were still working on the wait list, but I haven't heard any more recent news than that.</p>
