Hey guys, I was wondering which school to apply for between Amherst and Pomona. I equally like both but our school has a policy of letting students apply only 6 schools! I am wondering which school would more likely accept an international student. Thanks a lot.
For Americans they are basically equal in admissions difficulty.
However, there is one big difference. Amherst is one of only 5 schools that is both need blind for international applicants and also guarantees to provide full financial aid to international students. The other 4 are Harvard, Yale, Princeton and MIT.
In other words, you might not get accepted to Pomona if you need too much financial aid, or you might get accepted but not get enough financial aid from them to make it possible to attend.
If financial aid is not an issue, then they probably have about the same chance of admission chance for you.
