<p>Out of curiousity, who else has applied ED to Pomona? I'm counting down the days...16 days or so until notification!!! I am going crazy from waiting. I know I'm not the strongest student academically, but maybe my ECs will make up for it?! Maybe I'm not good enough!? Aargh!!! Anyone think they have a sure chance of getting in, or vice versa?</p>
<p>I applied ED to Pomona too. I'm flipping out as welll! I have to keep rationalizing to myself that I won't get in to motivate me to do my other apps. Unfortunately, I'd be pretty upset going anywhere else. I'm from NY so just as it's getting cold now all i can think about is the perfect weather down in claremont. 16 days...shoot.</p>
<p>Oh well I think the fact that you're from New York gives you an advantage, versus Washington, where I think they get a million applicants. Mmmm geographical diverrrrrsityyyy! </p>
<p>I wonder how far they've gotten in deciding on applicants? They called my counselor today to ask me for my grades this year, so I'm thinking it's a good sign? Perhaps I passed the first round, or else they wouldn't have bothered to call! Oh dearie me this is torture.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Ahh shoot! i haven't heard anything from my counselor! And i had a B this quarter in Physics C because i was absent for a lab so couldn't hand it in on-time - making my lab average a 63%. The grade is going to be changed but the change won't show up on my first quarter report card. And nah- being from NY doesn't really help (at least i don't think so) there are a bunch of applicants from the major metropolitan areas. It's like being from Los Angeles and applying to Harvard. They e-mailed me to say that they have all my materials, so at least i know their eyes have graced my application- Gosh i'm such a loser. Haha get two paranoid people in a chat and they'll always find something to stress about. </p>
<p>Good luck to you too- hope to see you there!</p>
<p>Haha you're right about the paranoid people part. Don't worry, I'm sure your counselor will get a call soon. I live closer to Cali than you do, so that might be part of it. But yes, they were a little sluggish on the email that lets you know whether they got the materials or not.</p>
<p>My grades (from my last report card) were all As except for a B in math. I think it's pretty good, an improvement from last year. :) Haha I hope they see it that way. Don't worry about a B in Physics!</p>
<p>Haha yeah i just hope it doesn't glare at them in the face-- like they think i'm slacking off. I've never gotten below an A- and all my other grades for the quarter are A+,A+,A+,A- all in AP classes-- so they might think something's up if they see a B. Haha i feel so silly fretting over a B but whatever. </p>
<p>But man... I just keep having these like dreams that the next day i'll wake up, check my e-mail, and i'll see a message that goes: Dear student, I know it's not Dec. 15 yet, but we are so impressed by your achievements and character qualities upon reading your application that we've decided to admit you and notify you immediately. We have also decided to waive all fees and costs for the next four years. Enjoy. </p>
<p>Haha a man can dream...</p>
<p>I think I've had dreams where I recieved an email saying that I got in...</p>
<p>:) We are so desperate! Slaves to ED.</p>
<p>Anyone else? Buuuuump!</p>
<p>looks like we're the only applicants! Wooohoooo now they have to accept us.</p>
<p>No, you are not alone. I know a kid applying ED to Pomona, but he is not on this site.</p>
<p>Lol, gettinready14!</p>
<p>I applied ED decision too. I am hoping the fact that I am from Texas will help me. I am nerviously waiting for my letter.</p>
<p>haha so 4 people so far... chances are still good. good luck to all!</p>
<p>Another guy from my school is applying ED, which makes me nervous because he's really smart. So five! :D</p>
<p>So it's almost 11 days! :)</p>
<p>Is everyone still working on their other applications just in case? I'm thinking that it's a good thing that it's a holiday after notifications come in, so we can get some time to recover after whatever results we get. And if needed, we can still manage to perfect our other applications.</p>
<p>i'm applying too!!
I'M TERRIFIED
but i've sort of accepted i'm not getting in- i didn't take enough AP's and my grades junior year were only mediocre, no where near Pomona standards (round a 3.8 UW). BUT so far senior year i'm in half AP's with a 4.83 weighted which puts me in top 10 in my class for this quarter- i don't know what that will mean for admission though.
and i live in CT so it is getting COLD..... I WANT SUNSHINE!!!!</p>
<p>oh and i'm also dreading how they tell us through snail mail.... i'm hoping that doesn't put a damper on christmas! :(</p>
<p>Do you think they've decided yet? Well they're probably deciding this week, and then stuffing the envelopes next week...</p>
<p>Yes, where I live we are currently getting major flooding and miserable rain. Sunshine sounds good right now. :D</p>
<p>I'm also applying ED and freaking out... I've had the dreams too... One last night actually, in which I was also getting married and the ED letter came in a green envelope. Sometimes I feel like if they could just get inside of my head and follow me around for a day and see how much I want it and see how I am in class and in my free time, they would want me. (Although I guess they wouldn't approve of my spending THIS free time posting on CC)</p>
