<p>Good grades, but you need your sat II’s to be higher in my opinion. Pomona likes to see 700+ on all of them. Write terrific essays and you have a fair chance of admission. Nice to see a nyc applicant. I’m guessing your from stuy/bronx sci, which is a good thing because I know several stuy/ bronx sci kids at Pomona, so they know its a great school to be ranked top 10% in. Good luck</p>

<p>I agree with A91–SATs may be ok (my daughter, specialized NYC hs-- (one that admits through selective examination) got into pomo with a 2280, but her SAT IIs averaged 790 (Math II BC, History and Lit). She’s white, like me, so your demographics are comparable.</p>
