** Official Pomona Class of 2021 Discussion Thread **

I did get my quarter grades requested. Hope that helps you!

Thank you! Best wishes in regards to your application!

@dbear33 @goingsomewhereeh congrats to the both of you!!! I’m geniunely really, really happy for you guys. you guys deserve it so much. unfortunately, I got deferred, which meant lots of crying, because I really don’t think I’ll be able to get in RD. but I’m trying really hard to be positive. again, CONGRATS! have fun celebrating!!! now, I must go write some essays

@brookemitchell Thank you! Whatever you do, don’t lose hope! Deferred means that it is 100% possible you’ll be accepted RD! Hope to see you on campus next year maybe? :smiley: :slight_smile:

(moved)

@brookemitchell Thank you so much for the genuine wishes! I’m totally with @goingsomewhereeh don’t give up hope! You are amazing and you should know that! :slight_smile:

@dbear33 LOL now we know you’re also like geographically “with me” too…

True true we Canadians are taking over

A belated congratulations to everyone who got in!!! I REALLY hope to join you guys next fall. I did, however, apply to Brown ED instead of Pomona because of how close it is to where I live. Anyways, if I don’t get into Brown ED, I’ll be applying ED2 to Pomona! I had an on-campus interview and it went soooo well.

Are there any RDers on this thread?

I’m applying RD!

Dang I really want to apply ED2 but my parents are saying no because they want to weigh other financial aid packages.

I’m also applying RD! Hoping to finish up my essays today :slight_smile:

The wait is gonna be excruciatingly long…

Has anyone been receiving a lot of email from Pomona? Like 5 a week? I’m guessing it’s just because I visited.

And did anyone receive a Pomona College book (kinda like a look book) for prospective students?

@ap012199 Nope, and nope. A bit worried about my lack of expressed interest, but there’s not much I can do about it.

@Faultystart do you know how much Pomona actually considers demonstrated interest? I know they say they don’t on their CDS but they record visits and they like for their applicants to interview. The only thing that I’m worried about that may lessen my chances are my supplements, but my parents enjoyed them (and my dad is a hard sell). I’m just worried that the first supplement doesn’t sound very academic haha

@ap012199 I don’t know…When I told my college counselor I was going to apply to Pomona, he said that he was worried about my lack of demonstrated interest? That being said, I’m from the East Coast/Midwest and not really many people know much about California colleges.

My first supplement is kinda just a word vomit of why I like what I’m planning to major in; it’s not very academic either.

@Faultystart good to know. What are you planning to major in? I indicated English and Environmental Analysis.

@ap012199 Linguistics and Computer Science.
