<p>I just called the admissions office.
I kid you not, this is what she said, "The letters will be mailed today." !!</p>
<p>I GOT IN! OMGGGGG OMGGG big envelope! I left school early to get it and oh my goodness I am so thrilled. I'm really surprised if you guys don't hear back sooner than that, because I'm all the way on the East Coast. It was priority mail so I hope you see the same letter soon!</p>
<p>I am so relieved, I really didn't want to do those other apps.</p>
<p>I got my acceptance today. I was kind of surprised since I live on the east coast, but it was post marked the 13th and the letter was dated the 12th</p>
<p>congrats!!!!! can you guys post stats?</p>
<p>Congratulations Arimyg and soxfan45! You'll love Pomona. It will be much easier to endure the harsh winter knowing that next year you will be enjoying the lovely weather and a great school.</p>

<p>I received my letter today of denial, it was dated and mailed Dec.12. I did call the office today and was told all letters would be sent out this afternoon. I never received a final confirmation from Pomona that my application was complete. Did any one receive an e-mail that the application was complete?</p>
<p>Denied</p>
<p>Yea, I received an email around the 15th of November. I received my letter of denial yesterday.</p>
<p>S admitted--big envelope with priority mail sticker arrived today!</p>
<p>I dont think i ever got a pomona email but they sent me a letter after i submitted showing my basic info and asking if i wanted to change anything.</p>
<p>I never got an email saying my application was complete. I saw on their website that they were supposed to send one, so I called the admissions office and they said that they no longer send out those emails.</p>
<p>Deferred.</p>
<p>Has anyone ever heard of getting in RD when deferred? Also, any idea how many ED are deferred?</p>
<p>One of my friends just got deferred today as well so both of us will be in the RD pool. The wait to April is tooooo long.</p>
<p>i did get an email saying that my ED application was complete and they had all my documents.. that was 11/20</p>
<p>ps. there are still people who havent heard yet, right?? i live in massachusetts</p>
<p>I live in Chicago and I haven't heard anything...crossing my fingers I get something tomorrow!</p>
<p>whoo another EMT!! I've been trying to find out if there's a volunteer EMS agency around here but there doesn't seem to be one...though i've heard rumours about one (CCmed, claremont colleges med?). i've been looking into starting one for the claremont colleges if there isn't but i want to make sure there are some takers...</p>
