<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>I'm a senior in HS and I am applying to Pomona EDII. I really love the school (the 5C system, its academic rigorousness, small class size, West Coast culture) and am really nervous about my chances. Pomona has such a small class size and they don't admit that many students from the East Coast (where I go to school) to begin with. I hope you guys can chance me so I have a mental mindset of the likelihood of me getting accepted. Thanks!</p>

<p>Unfortunately all interviews were booked full (I forgot to check!!!) but I'm calling Monday to beg if they can squeeze something in for me. I'm just a little worried about my SATII scores and also my EC's (plus the lack of rewards). I really like my CA essay and still working on supplements. Will I have a good shot at EDII round? Thanks guys for chancing!!!</p>
