<p>Hi I'm currently a senior in high school and am applying EDII to Pomona (didn't apply anywhere EDI). I have a lot of great schools on my list that I would love to attend but Pomona is still by far my most desired one. Besides the fact that I'm applying ED is there any way I could express to them how much more I love their school than any other? Maybe some sort of email to admissions? I already had an interview but it was with an alumnus not admissions officer. What do you think?</p>

<p>Also, I know these are annoying but since I already have your attention why not do a chances thread too...
SAT:
CR: 720
M: 710
WR: 650</p>

<p>Math I: 720
Physics: 680</p>

<p>My school offers no AP classes</p>

<p>Major interests: film, photography, Chinese</p>

<p>High school: one of the top high schools in country, ranked number 1 by wall street journal, gives written reports in lieu of grades
--> excellent reports
-->recs: teachers who gave me recs love me</p>

<p>from New York</p>

<p>Great personal statement and supplement</p>

<p>EC's: nothing groundbreaking, a few sports teams. made a long movie every year, work as a photographer for my local newspaper, had several jobs taking pictures for bar mitzvahs, was on my temple youth board, school plays</p>

<p>Anyway, this post was mainly for my first question, only answer the chances part if you feel like it</p>

<p>The fact that you’re applying ED demonstrates your strong interest in Pomona. Your WR and Physics SATs are a bit on the low side, but not a deal breaker. Signing up at the Pomona booth at a college fair or if Pomona had visited your school, requesting a view book from Pomona, etc., would have indicated your interest pre-application. Other than sending a thank-you note to our interviewer, reiterating your interest in Pomona, there’s really nothing more you can do.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
