Colleges & Universities A-Z Pomona College
1

<p>-GPA: 3.93
-SAT: 2080 (660 CR, 680 M, 740 W)... but I will probably just submit my ACT scores
-ACT: 31 (34 E, 29 M, 35 R, 27 S)
-AP classes: took 1 last year and currently taking 5 with one honors class (French 5 is not AP at my school for some reason)
-Extracurriculars: National Honor Society, French National Honor Society, National Charity League, independent volunteer work, Varsity track and field (javelin), ASA softball (club)
-Bad news: I'm a white girl
-Doubly bad news: I haven't visited or interviewed (the waiting list is so long!)
-Possible good news but not that great: I'm from Oregon</p>

<p>Advice? I appreciate honesty. I know this is a huge long shot because my scores don't especially cut it and I'm not sure I have the coach behind me for track. I think my essay is going to be pretty good though.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>you sound a lot like me (minus the white girl part lol) but you sound pretty good. You should add a list of schools your applying to so people can see if you have a chance at those specific schools.</p>

<p>that could be a good idea
I applied early to Bowdoin but didn’t get in. I’m applying to Bates, Pitzer, Claremont McKenna, Puget Sound and so far that’s it…</p>

<p>being from oregon isn’t good news at all actually, although I wouldn’t call it bad news. There are many students at Pomona from Oregon, so if you were looking for that to be a hook I am sorry to say that it is not…</p>
