<p>Even though Pomona claims to be need blind, are they still likely to accept an applicant who is paying full international tuition? Even though this person would be a little under their "required" standardized test scores.</p>
<p>I have the appropriate test scores, and applying for financial aid, but I am just wondering how my chances rank against those of a (not necessarily less qualified) full fare applicant.</p>
<p>You shouldn’t apply ED!! International students seeking financial assistance should apply RD. There are approximately 10 internationals each year that get financial aid. If they want you I think they will give you the money you need. But you definitely have a better chance of getting in if you can pay the bill.
Which country are you from? I have heard that Pomona has tons of Chinese students.</p>
<p>It seems that Pomona is need-blind but NOT full-need for international students. So apply, but don’t count on being able to afford it if you get in.</p>
