@Harvardgirl21 I have a freshman daughter in the Class of 2020. Congrats everyone! I remember when she got accepted last year and how happy she was!
Lucky enough to have gotten in! I would comment on the Results Thread, but I actually don’t know how to use the format lol.
Oh dear. I got my financial aid award but the EFC is way higher than I thought it was going to be or what my parents were expecting. I’m really hoping I can repeal this, Pomona really would be amazing to attend…
@Irides try the NPC (https://npc.collegeboard.org/student/app/pomona) and see if you’re getting a different number. If you are, send FA a message about it. They may have messed up somewhere, or you could have made a mistake with reporting income or something
Does anyone know when transfer admissions decisions will be released?
@fer421 I asked my admissions counselor, she said we will hear back before the 1st. No specific date yet. Hopefully next Friday.
I’m still in shock I really can’t believe this. I’ve been so happy all weekend.
Did your financial aid award come in the mail? Or is it on-line somewhere?
congrats to all excepted. S in class of 2020 and i can tell you Pomona is a pretty special place. everything from PIP, SURP, sponsor groups, orientation trips and ability to make a small school a medium size school with resources from the 5-C consortium make Pomona very unique. He Just came back from a fully funded spring break called alternabreak sponsored by the Draper center . Pomona really takes care of their students.
DD (frosh) was picked as an alternate for Critical Language Scholarship for this summer. Fingers crossed. Yes, lots of good opportunities for Pomona students.
@nostalgicwisdom I called, and they said, “While the NPC is a good estimate, it’s not always correct.” Essentially, my amount’s only changing if I go through the appeals process. Thanks for the advice, though!
Transfer student here. I just tried to log into the ‘admitted student portal’ again for the 100th time since they released the Freshman decisions last week… AND IT WORKED!!! Unless I’m getting “Steve Harvey-ed” or “La La Landed-ed”, I think I got in!!!
Wow so it seems like transfer admissions is rolling? Has anyone else heard back as a transfer?
Just got rejected as a transfer
Rejected as a transfer also. @ririzarry congrats! That’s really an honor. Would you care to share your stats?
Just got word that I was accepted as a transfer for the Fall 2017 cohort. While I was at Disneyland no less! Congratulations to all the others admitted. I look forward to meeting you at an admitted students day perhaps.
Accepted as a transfer! Not really sure if I’m considered class of 2021 or 2020.
So… is there a GroupMe for accepted students? Also, is anyone going to Spring Weekend?
@IloveMyGoogle there is a facebook group! It should be linked on your admitted students page on Destination Pomona I think.
If we’re a junior level transfer set to grad in 2019 do we still join the same group? seems a bit off
