***Official Pomona Class of 2019 RD Discussion Thread***

That’s so awesome! Maybe think about location? They’re pretty much as far apart as they could possibly be.

I’m international. And I think I would enjoy both suburb California and New York City, though they are very different. Also, as far as I know, both have great astrophysics programs (which you can see is my intended major from my profile pic alone if not my name lol)
Unfortunately, it’s too costly to fly to visit colleges in April, so I probably won’t be able to get any first-hand experience.
Anyway, we’ll have to wait until the decisions for Pomona come out to say anything certain! Good luck to you!
Finally, is it true that Pomona doesn’t send decisions online nor sends emails but only mails the decisions to applicants?

This year ED decisions were emailed. I assume the same will be true for RD.

Has anyone in the US received the Daring Minds mailer?

Yes, received the mailer. Maybe a good sign? Or probably reading too much into it - nonetheless a nice promotional piece!

I got the mailer too. SQUEALED when my mom was like “oh, and this thing from Pomona”.

I got the mailer, but I doubt it’s anything special.

Does Pomona notify online?

@curlyllama this year they are.

what date?

Oh wow, I’m so glad they are notifying online.

Literally does anyone know when theyre releasing Pomona is my dream school lol I just wanna know already

i wish colleges did rolling rejections lol fml im tired of waiting i want 2 rip my eyeballs out

Last year was the 21st, a Friday, and since colleges usually notify on the same day of the week each year, I’m going to guess the 20th.

I got the mailer too

And I also got the mailer.

What is “the mailer,” anyone?

i got the lil packet too so i don’t think it means anything

@stilchs4. The mailer is a multi-page color booklet that highlights some of the interesting things Pomona professors are involved in. It was mailed to students but includes a note inside from the Dean of Admissions addressed to parents.

Especially given the timing, it seems like the kind of thing that would be targeted at parents of students they are about to accept and whom they are hoping to encourage to attend. I"m not sure why they would spend a bunch of money sending it to those whom they are about to reject, though with as much money as the school has, they may not care.

Got one too.

It’s a good thought but everyone here any possibly get in so why did everyone here seem to get one?
