Thanks for posting. Good to hear from you again @nostalgicwisdom. Are AZ/NM/TX included in “Midwest and Mountain States”? Seems like a big chunk of the country. How does yield compare to recent years?

AZ and NM are counted in Mountain States, Texas is counted in the South. There are currently 25 students from Arizona and 11 from New Mexico represented in the Pomona student body.

The yield is pretty close to last year (which was 47.8%). Both yields represent a huge rise in yield from past years. Before, the yield was 40% for C’17 and 41% for C’16.
