<p>just got rejected…oh well</p>

<p>D on the alternate list, bummed but hopeful. Has some great choices already and still waiting on several. Still loved what CMC had to offer.</p>

<p>accepted :slight_smile: for those of you who got in, did it say the committee unanimously voted you? isnt that a weird way to make decisions?</p>

<p>alternate list :frowning: kind of sucks now i feel like i definitely won’t get into pomona.
but i dont know my analytical essay really did suck. but congrats to those who did get in!</p>

<p>accepted! Unanimously, apparently (haha what?!).</p>

<p>waitlisted like everyone else.</p>

<p>meggers10 - i applied to pomona too, but actually felt better about my chances there. theyre different styles, they look for different kinds of students</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got in, I got accepted too, pretty amazing, i feel quite honored. </p>

<p>I don’t know if ill accept the offer of admission though because i’ve been at a tiny private school my whole damn life and i don’t know if i can do it again so someone will probably get my spot! </p>

<p>STATS

  • 1800 SAT
  • 760 bio sat II and 670 chem
    -IGCSE- all A*'s and A’s
    -IB predicted- not sure, i’m thinking it was like 40’s
    -Amazing EC’s and recommendations
    -Valedictorian la di da
    -International student- lived in Malawi my whole life and i’m half Malawian, that must be my hook
    Essays-Ummm, i think my personal statement was very touching, but honestly i just whipped up the analytical essay really quickly because i wanted to finish college apps so i could concentrate on school- but it was still really well done and inspiring.</p>

<p>D is admitted; still waiting for decision on Seaver scholarship which is coming by snail mail, hopefully by Friday.</p>

<p>Accepted.
Did any international with FA get in?</p>

<p>alternate list. haha what is this so-called “committee”? Because apparently they also vote to put people on the wait-list.</p>

<p>dancer1502:
I’m international and I applied for FA…but didn’t get in.</p>

<p>Another friend of mine with equally good stats didn’t get in, I’m guessing because of the FA.
Anyone else who got in with aid(internationals only) ?</p>

<p>And good luck to you for other colleges!</p>
