<p>Hey everyone! I was wondering what my chances are EDII at Pomona College? Thanks for your help!
my stats:
Im a senior at a very rigorous high school in northern California
HS GPA: 3.7ish
SAT: 710M, 690V (1400)
SAT II's: writing:740, french:740, math 1c:740
AP exams: french, environmental science (4), english, and biology. (These are also the AP classes I am taking)</p>

<p>I also took Honors chem. at a community college (got an A) as well as did the "summer discovery" program @ UCSB and got A's in Linguistics and Native American Culture (this is also a good EC).</p>

<p>EC's (heavily weighted on the music side):
Jazz band-2 years
CMEA(a music festival thing)-6 (and won gold)
School band-all 4 years
"Pep" band (for football games)-4
Odyssey of the Mind-2(won regional, went to state)
Peer counseling-2
Peer tutoring-2
Basketball-2
JV golf-2
President of French club and hospital colunteer CS club-2
Vice President of Art/Community service club
Around 200 CS hours at a soup kitchen, hospital, and peer counseling
Job: Graphic Design (8hrs/week) since 2001</p>

<p>Good teacher recs, and (what I think is) a good and unique essay</p>

<p>sounds like you have a decent shot, but not a slam dunk. Your SAT and GPA are good but not totally stellar by Pomona's standards. Definitely play up your music ECs, as they seem to be your strongest asset. The essay and recs will probably be important for you too, so they better be good. </p>

<p>Just my opinion of course. </p>

<p>Good luck. </p>
