<p>Your GPA is very low for Pomona, but I don’t know how rigorous your courses have been. However, your test scores are also pretty low for Pomona (especially for a private school student).</p>
<p>Your ECs seem fairly impressive, but I’m not sure you could get in on those alone. You would need some great essays, in my opinion.</p>
<p>That being said, I don’t know your application in full (for good or bad), and I don’t know how the admissions committee would view it. They could place a lot of emphasis on your test scores/GPA, or a lot of emphasis on your volunteer work. College admissions is a somewhat subjective process, there’s really no telling what can happen (and this is why these chances threads really are useless).</p>
<p>Also, you say you’re a junior in another of your threads but you say you’re college class of 2016? It should be 2017.</p>
<p>I’m afraid that I must agree with zrathsura (who I believe is an accepted student, if I recall correctly?) Pomona will view your application holistically. But, this doesn’t mean that they will overlook scores and GPA. Lower scores are reserved for athletic recruits, affirmative action, legacies, unique geographical residence (ie Not California), etc. But many applicants that fall into these categories have stellar stats as well. Pomona has one of the best applicant pools in the country and they deny 86% of these wonderful students. My suggestion would be to show as much interest in the school as possible, interview, and write phenomenal essays. But, be assured that this school is a reach for students with SATs of 2250+ and perfect GPAs. The admission committee is trying to build a diverse class and often times their decisions seem random and unpredictable. You never know what an admission officer is thinking. Best of luck!</p>
<p>As zrathsura and abc1230 mention, it’s hard to know what an adcom at any highly selective college is looking for at any given time (which is why I tend to view “chances” threads with some amusement). Folks with “better” stats have not gotten in and others with “worse” have. You have 3 sports listed. If you intend to continue any one of them in college, I would suggest contacting the respective coach at any of the colleges you are considering. Many colleges (including Pomona) seem to appreciate the time and effort that it takes to excel in athletics and academics, and will take that into account as they try to assemble the diverse class that abc1230 is referring to.</p>
<p>If you have shown an upward progression in your grades, demonstrated a variety of interests/strengths, perhaps even taken on a leadership role in any given area, and really want to attend Pomona, you should apply - all Pomona can say is no, and it just might say yes! If I had listened to those “in the know,” I wouldn’t have applied to, and subsequently attended, my alma mater that definitely was more of a reach than a match. Yes, admissions is objective, but it is also subjective.</p>
