<p>I’m liking the community service project and business, though the test score/GPA are a bit low. Do realize that if you’re sending the SAT, you’ll need Subject Tests (but not if you’re sending the ACT).</p>

<p>If you’re good enough at piano, send in a music supplement. Pomona’s one of those weird schools that seems to love supplements.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance, but the average SAT at Pomona is a little higher. If you can get 2100+ that would definitely help. One more thing that I also think would help would be to take a summer class (in addition to you business which is really cool!). Your local CC would be great, or if not there than summer@brown still has online courses open I believe.</p>

<p>I doubt I know any more or less than you but that’s my two cents :)</p>
