<p>What do you guys think my chances are into Pomona? </p>

<p>There are factors about my school that should be taken into consideration, but I would rather not explain. It has to do with my school district and funding cuts. We only offer 8 non-language AP classes, compared to most high schools which offer at least 12-16. I wish I had went to a better school but it is too late for that now. The opportunities just don't exist here.</p>

<p>I love heavy metal music, have really long hair, and consider myself "unique" among my peers. I don't if that matters, but I am pretty sure my interview will help me out.</p>

<p>God people must hate me here. Am I not liberal enough? Or is it something else? I really like thi school too. Whatever, I guess I am going in blind.</p>

<p>Edit: LOL, Ironic caused I used the word "God".</p>

<p>If you do well on your SATs, you should get in. If you don't, blame the ****ed up mess that college applications have become in this country, go somewhere else, and continue to succeed.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot. It's not a question of if you're qualified or have the numbers- you do. It's if you're one of the lucky ones to get admitted. Good luck!</p>
