<p>Hi all! I know you hate chance threads haha but I'd really appreciate some feedback. I love Pomona so much, it's definitely my dream school :)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.7 UW, 4.2 W (rigorous course load)
SAT: 2100 combined (710 CR, 610 M, 780 W)
Subject SATs: 720 US History, taking Lit and Math II in October
Ethnicity: South Asian
Top 4% of my class (out of 800 or so)
CA resident, public school of about 4000 kids
Extracurriculars:
4 year speech and debate team member, historian this year
Vice President of CSF
Webmaster of Key Club
Copy editor of school yearbook
Junior Volunteer Board of Directors member at my local hospital where I volunteer (250+ hrs in 2 years)
Cancer research institute internship this past summer
Taught middle school debate (internship) to kids ages 11-13 over the past summer at Claremont McKenna College</p>

<p>*Notes: I have two Cs--one from geometry freshman year first semester, and one from my second semester junior year in honors math analysis (clearly I am not a math person lol). Will this affect me? The one from geometry was a difficult adjustment to high school, and I had family problems at the end of my junior year which is why I got the C. I am taking six AP classes this year.</p>

<p>I am also interviewing with Pomona and I have visited the campus multiple times.</p>

<p>Good gpa and sat 2 scores, however your sat 1 math score is significantly low. If you can bring that up you will have a very good chance. Chance me back</p>

<p>The Cs matter, and it’s really hard for asians from california to get into Pomona even with good scores. Speech and debate might help but overall I don’t see a good chance with admissions rates going down each year.</p>
