I got the mailer too, but I really doubt it foreshadows an acceptance for me. Pomona’s definitely a super reach for me considering my stats.

It seemed like a generic packet showing off the school. For other schools, specifically UCI, I know that some people got a “generic type letter” in the recent weeks (I did not receive one), and people are debating whether or not it has any correlation to an acceptance! Guess we’ll be able to see if it did have any relation for our decisions in the coming weeks.

Good luck to everyone!

62

I really wish there was a correlation though :frowning:

63

The mailer doesn’t mean anything. Every applicant who filled out the Pomona Request for More Information form gets three mailers a year, and the last one was released on late Feb.

64

No mailer here, but I live on the East Coast, and Pomona’s outreach to me has been pretty limited. I’m pretty sure I’m on their mailing list though…

I wouldn’t imagine it has any correlation to your decision though, probably just kind of reminding everyone (mostly people who don’t have Pomona as a first choice) that Pomona is a great school.

Probably. Hopefully. crosses fingers

65

Good luck everybody~

66

Just out of curiosity, suppose you end up with all B’s at the end of the semester. Will Pomona most likely rescind your admission?

67

@jelly765‌ I highly doubt it! As long as you get C’s or better, you should be fine

68

i see from the admissions notifications 2015 thread that Pomona this year is March 20, 5 PM PST

69

yup, it’s posted on their website that it’s at March 20 5pm

70

Same time as UCLA!! Which to open first…

71

@couplemoreweeks I’m opening UCLA first

72

wait where does it say on the website @binatang

73

@gsants‌

It’s on the first page.

@binatang‌
What’s the reasoning for that? If I open UCLA first and get in and then get rejected from POMONA, I’ll be less happy. But if I start with POMONA get rejected and then get into UCLA it’ll be very comforting. And if I get rejected from both thennn SO BE IT :((!

75

@couplemoreweks oh I don’t really have any reasoning, I was just sharing with you what I’m going to do

76

@gsants, yes it’s on here http://www.pomona.edu/admissions/

77

@‌binatang

Just trying to figure out what I’m going to do to ease the anxiety.

78

@binatang‌ @couplemoreweeks‌ I applied to both schools as well! ahh! Can’t decide which to open first…

79

Ahh maybe same time? This is killing me!

80

before the nailbiting results, what’s everyone planning on doing this week? I have fricking midterm finals so that’s not comforting at all.
