For those who got accepted did you have access to that link? Or did you have a message saying only for admitted students

@ricka8 For me, personally, I had access to the ā€œDestination Pomonaā€ link.

@ricka8 I had access to it!

Rejected. But, got the email

ACCEPTED!!! So unbelievably happy. I could access the link but I didnā€™t want to believe it was true!

Honored to be accepted!!!

@Harvardgirl21 You a Pomonagirl21 now. Congrats! Chirp Chirp!

@preppedparent I sure am! Haha I made my username in junior year. Thank you!!!

^^Itā€™s a wonderful community. If you choose Pomona you will be lucky to be a Sagehen and they will be lucky to have you!

Accepted! Congratulations to all of my future classmates.

@preppedparent Iā€™m so excited and I know that I would be so lucky to be a Sagehen! Do you have a daughter/son at Pomona?

I have followed college admissions for several years at Pomona and many of its peers like Amherst, Stanford, etc. and I can say that I have never seen an admitted student group so diverse. 68% of students are domestic students or international students. That is unbelievably high, and even among the most diverse top universities, like Stanford or Columbia, it has never gone above 55%. 40% valedictorian or salutatorian. It was an unbelievably competitive year, and those who are admitted should know that whomever the Class of 2021 will ultimately enroll will be an extremely distinguished and diverse group of people. Congratulations to everyone admitted, and for those who werenā€™t, youā€™re in really good company!

so honored to have been admitted! i attended the fall weekend and have been dreaming about pomona ever since. chirp chirp!

whoops, I meant to say ā€œ68% of students are domestic students OF COLOR and international studentsā€. 100% of students are domestic students or international students at every school in the country :wink:

waitlisted! congrats to all! on my way to UCLA :slight_smile:

Accepted to Pomona!!! Pomona has been my dream school ever since I began my college search and itā€™s so amazing to know that I got in! Anyone else going to the admitted students diversity weekend?

I checked my portal like 5 hours after decisions came out because I had taken Lā€™s from Colby Swartmore and Northwestern BUT I GOT ACCEPTED TO POMONA!!!

Okay I wrote that^^^ last night in my frenzy of finding out my admission but I need to say that I am definitely NOT val or sal and I never published a piece of journalism or did any professional research but I still got in. I donā€™t know why or how but this is truly a blessing and I am forever grateful

Everyone post on the decisions thread!!
