General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I am incredibly blessed to have gotten this admission. I wish all of you the best of luck in your decision process! Although I am not sure if I will be going to Pomona, the school has given me the best financial aid package thus far. </p>
<p>Still no mail… I guess I was rejected :S</p>
<p>@bacteria1221 where are you from? </p>
<p>@pancakes101 Korea! It’s saturday afternoon right now, so maybe it’ll come on monday or tuesday…</p>
<p>@bacteria1221 Yeah I still haven’t gotten my mail either. They said by 4th April so hopefully sometime next week. /
</p>
<p>Hi I from SoCal and I haven’t received a decision letter yet. I believe it was sent to the wrong address so I don’t expect the letter to ever come. However, I called the admissions office and was told that I was wait-listed. I was wondering if someone could share the information provided in the letter to wait-listed applicants since Pomona College is my top choice. I could provide an email address where some could send a picture of the letter if needed. I already emailed the admissions office that I like to be placed on the wait-list but they haven’t gotten back to me yet. Also any advice on how to get off the wait-list?</p>
<p>@bacteria1221 did you receive your packet yet? I live in Korea too.</p>
<p>@snowinsummer nope, but I’m still in school so I gotta go home and check…</p>
<p>@bacteria1221. I didn’t receive it today… This is killing me!</p>
<p>@snowinsummer I still haven’t received anything, but yesterday I called their admissions office and they emailed me my results. If it’s really bothering you, you should do the same.</p>
<p>D found out yesterday she was accepted. If you haven’t received your package yet I would call admissions. </p>
<p>did everyone receive their decisions already??? I am an international and have not gotten anything yet, </p>
<p>@krokoziab I still didn’t get mine either! 
I’m also an international student. I think I’ll call them today or tomorrow…</p>
