<p>So, I was thinking, pomona is probably one of my top schools, not that I stand <em>much</em> of a chance getting in, but you know, it seems really nice, looks beautiful, nutures you on your way through college, etc. I am thinking about maybe doing ED II, even though I live in PA, have not visited, and may be taking a risk ? Do you think it's worth it? Even so, I posted my stats below so maybe I can get a better idea of which plan to utilize..I realize that it's better to do ED to pomona, BUT...having not visited, not sure what to do. thanks :D</p>
