<p>From a current Pomona junior procrastinating on studying…</p>

<p>Damn. Is the notification date tomorrow? December 13th?</p>

<p>And do international applicants get their notifications through email or a letter?</p>

<p>I would think that west coast applicants would start to receive letters today and east coasters from Thursday to Saturday…</p>

<p>wow…really? tmr? just hope international applicants get quicker notification! my friends got accepted from Vassar and Wellesley yesterday and the day before yesterday… so jealous!</p>

<p>IIRC, International applicants will get an email soon and then later get a physical letter.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

[/ul]**General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: ** Disappointed and surprised. Don’t understand why I was outright rejected, but I guess Pomona isn’t the school for me. Congratulations to all those who make it- you are clearly impressive folks!</p>

<p>pomona no result…no email…no mail…it seems i have been rejected</p>

<p>no results yet! I’ve heard that they’re sending e-mail to internationals on 15th… right?</p>

<p>hope so, I am anxious since some applicants in my country have already got fedex acceptance letters 8 or 10 hrs ago…</p>

<p>AspiringSquirrel - Just fail to understand why either. I am sure you will receive many acceptance letters…</p>

<ul>
<li>I am completely dumbfounded and as a Mom my heart hurts for you BUT with those amazing stats you will end up somewhere just as great! How UN-orthodox were your essays?? You may want to consider a different approach for the next round. What do others think?? Should he call and follow up on the rejection??</li>
