I think I’m going to start a GroupMe for anyone interested! PM me so that I can add you since links aren’t allowed publicly on CC for GroupMe.
Guesses for decision day? My guess is March 17 - 20.
lol I’m the only one on this thread now but does anyone know if we will receive our decision through snail mail before email?
ED1 applicants were notified by email that the decision was available on their portal. Admitted students then received their “big envelope” by snail mail.
@sakibdurlob @Fawziyah how did you guys submit peer recs? Through common app? I already had an additional rec from my volunteer coordinator, do you think I could ask Pomona admissions to email a peer one?
@atl989 probably not; that would put you over the rec limit. Pomona only allows 1 extra rec, and it appears you’ve already submitted one.
Yeah I’m gonna have to agree with @ap012199
@atl989 I actually submitted two extra letters. One was my peer letter via Common App and the other one was from my research mentor. He submitted via SlideRoom.
@ap012199 they’re not gonna reject you b/c they think you’ll be better in pitzer. there are SO MANY of the ed1 people who are wanting to major in environmental analysis. so that’s good and bad for you-- good b/c it shows that they like environmental people but bad because they likely want diversity and maybe won’t take many more after the ed1 pool
@greenerthoughts how do you know that about EDI applicants?
@ap012199 greenerthoughts is an accepted QB applicant. In the FB group, people have shared what they want to major in and there are a lot of intended or interested EA majors
What other majors seem to be very popular in this ED 2021 class? I put down psych and neuro, just wondering if those majors came up quite a lot or more than usual.
@ricka8 I’m not an ED applicant, but I applied for Cognitive Science, which is a similar field to your majors. Pomona has great brain-related programs.
@ap012199
I second what @greenerthoughts and @goingsomewhereeh said. There are literally tons of people who intend to major in EA in the ED1 admitted pool - including me. That said, if you are a capable fit for Pomona, I assure you not to worry. Pomona is known for its selectivity but also its ability to recognize real potentials, so you WILL shine through the crowd if you’re a gem. Good luck and fingers crossed for all of you!! 
@dbear33 that’s strange considering environmental analysis isn’t listed as one of Pomona’s more popular majors. I actually indicated English as my primary interest and EA as another. My Pomona supplement was pretty focused on environmentalism though (I chose the rabbit hole prompt and wrote about how I became obsessed with creating environmentally sustainable habitats for the astronauts on the manned mission to Mars). I also talked about writing short stories about Mars too and I even sent in one as a supplement.
@ap012199 Yes it was indeed a joyful surprise for many of us. Sounds like you have done what you can possibly do to the max. It all comes down in less than 15 days! 
Anyone figure out the FA tab situation? My documents still aren’t received.
@ap012199 so… I called the financial aid office yesterday and the guy on the phone told me that the reason it says MY financial aid documents are “awaiting” is because my IDs are not the same on the CSS and on my common app or something along those lines. However, when he checked my stuff, everything has been received. I’d suggest that you call them and ask them about your documents and disregard the portal
@Fawziyah I called them yesterday and they told me that they had received the documents that were awaiting but that they wanted me to resubmit my FAFSA. I’m just confused as to why they still haven’t marked my documents as received if they told me that they have them.
@ap012199 oh … According to the guy from fin aid, when I called, the status of our fin aid items are not synced with our portal because of issues with ID numbers or something like that.
