** Official Pomona Class of 2021 Discussion Thread **

@Dlue14 same!! Like they already have all my info so I’m trying not to get too excited but this might mean we’re in!!! How crazy is that. I wonder if the admissions office realizes they made an error in setting up the page so that students can see it before decisions?

It’s just telling me that the page is for admitted students (don’t see anything else)…

I think this is similar to what happened at Yale last year when you could figure out decisions early by attempting to log into the admit students portal. Congrats everyone! I think I didn’t get in but have WashU and Colby in hand, waiting for Swarth and the rest.

I dunno, guys. Guess we will have to find out for sure in a few hours. Do admissions send us an e-mail or do we still have to check regularly the portal?

Someone should tweet Pomona Joel

@SpoonGuilder I tweeted him asking when the decisions will be released and he said 5 p.m. Didn’t tell him about the message I got, tho.

I get the “this portal is for admitted students only” that’s too bad. Congrats to everyone who got in.

For some reason when I used this link it let me log in normally?

https://admissions.pomona.edu/account/login?

try this link
https://admissions.pomona.edu/portal/destination

Got the admitted students only message… well the dream was great

The link that is giving the admitted students only is not the same as the one I have for my daughter’s application status. The one I have for her application status, which I also get to by clicking on the link in the email sent a couple days ago, is https://admissions.pomona.edu/apply/status and it still is showing what it’s shown before i.e. when her application was submitted and the documents checklist showing they have everything. The other link mentioned here that says only for admitted students is https://admissions.pomona.edu/portal/destination ??

@ricka8 i’ve noticed your name from the Brown ED discussion. This stuff happened with Brown, and people went crazy, it really doesn’t mean anything. This happens a lot, and after that Brown 2021 ED thread, don’t lose hope just yet. Stay confident and keep believing!

so what time do we think they will be released?

@GraceRichardsun 5 PM PST

WAIT IF I CAN SEE THE CONTENT ON THE LINK DOES THAT MEAN I GOT IN?? HOLY YES

Admission rate 8.2%. https://www.pomona.edu/news/2017/03/17-pomona-college-receives-record-breaking-number-applications-class-2021. Good luck everybody!

I think we should all relax a bit and wait till 5PM. You should check the link that was in the e mail from admissions…“Your application status page is the only place where you will be able to access your admissions decision.”
Best of luck!!

Got the admitted students only message but I wasn’t expecting an acceptance anyway :confused: hopefully there’s better news for CMC next week!

That link is now inactive. I believe Pomona realized what was going on

@DreamforIvy makes me think it was legit. Afterall, if it didn’t matter then why remove it. Oh well, already got into NU today. Can’t expect only good news
