<p>Congratulations everyone! Pomona is a great school and you all deserve the spot you received.</p>
<p>rejected :( .... 4.6 weighted GPA, 2190 SAT, spent all of last summer in Cambodia and helped start a school there, had an awesome interview with one of the deans of admission, volunteer for Hospice every week and work 25 hours a week too.</p>
<p>oh well, Congrats to everyone who got in! I'm sure you will absolutely love it there!</p>
<p>DD was ACCEPTED! :) :)
Generous financial aid offer!</p>
<p>what is the difference between d and dd? congratulations! and sarah, OH MY GOD you are definitely going places with accomplishments like that even if you got rejected.</p>
<p>hey guys! congratulations on your acceptances!
i got admitted too as an intl student.
do you know if I can check my financial aid offer online? or does it come with the post? really eager to know.... :(</p>
<p>Fin. aid isn't available to anyone atm except those who got it in their admittance packets (i didn't, sent forms a few days too late to process it before acceptance)</p>
<p>ooh, i see...

<p>D = daughter
DD = dear daughter</p>

<p>I'm from philly and am ecstatic about getting into Pomona. I'm almost 100% sure I'll be coming next year, depending on the financial aid package and my ability to persuade my parents to send me 3,000 miles away. </p>
<p>Does anyone know how accessibile LA is from Pomona? Is it a metro rail or train and is it costly?</p>
<p>congrats!!!!! =))))) i'm so excited for you guys!</p>
<p>LA is very accessible from Pomona - the metro train ticket (round trip) is like $1.70. So no worries. The only problem is that the metro closes by about 9pm. That said, chances are you'll have friends with a car (there is a TON of parking space in Pomona) and so you can jolly ride with them back.</p>
<p>$1.70? Does Pomona cut you a deal?? It's more like $5-10...</p>
<p>The buses run a little later than the trains, thankfully.</p>
<p>Also, they're expanding the red line out to Claremont from Pasadena within the next couple of years.</p>
<p>Whoops, my bad. I don't know why I put $1.70.</p>
<p>Normally we spend about 6 - 7 dollars on a round trip ticket. But that's because we buy the youth tickets - which cost $3.75 for one-way ticket. Normal tickets will cost $5.75 on the weekends for a one-way train ticket and $10.25 for a round trip ticket.</p>
<p>The Gold Line extension to Claremont is not scheduled to open until 2014 and it is rare for public works projects to open on time.</p>
<p>Hey, I just got denied for financial aid...does anyone know if it's possible to bargain for some?</p>
<p>The Fin Aid office at Pomona is very open to reconsidering a student's situation. They have a formula that they follow, of course, but if you have extenuating circumstances, they will consider them.</p>
<p>Call them, they'll hook it up. It's not uncommon for them to increase their offer if they've made one, or reconsider if they haven't</p>
<p>ACCEPTED AND GOIN TO VISITERS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!! lol</p>
