Hi! I noticed that no one has made a thread for this year’s admissions cycle yet. Let’s discuss/ask questions here! Anyone doing ED 1 ??
I just applied ed1
Applying ED! So excited
Anyone aware of the decision date?
@jcocc @NebbyBag yay! i applied ED 1 as well. did you guys apply for an alumni interview? also, the web site said decisions will be notified by December 15. i heard that it usually comes out earlier than that, but i’m not too sure.
I am an international so there are no alumni to interview me haha. Where are you guys from? I do hope it comes out earlier than the 15th!
I’m from Washington D.C. I never did any interview, but I have demonstrated a lot of interest, as I have visited and did an athletic visit this fall.
I applied ED as well! Incredibly nervous bc Pomona is just so selective ahhh
I noticed how there wasn’t an ED I thread too! I was going to make it last week but I was procrastinating (as with every other thing in my life, haha).
I applied ED as well and am concurrently incredibly excited and fearful of Dec.15th.
Best of luck to everyone!
I’m from CA! I emailed my assigned alumni interviewer tuesday early morning but haven’t got a reply yet. ahhh i’m so nervous x_x
EDI here! From CA and extremely nervous! I believe last year they were notified on the 9th of December, so if it is the same Friday this year, should be December 8th!
Please be Dec 8th and not the 15th! The 15th is also a Friday so hopefully, the admissions office will bless us with the earlier date (Let’s be honest, I just don’t want to start on my RD essays). Good luck on your interviews I heard the on-campus ones are super casual and relaxing.
I ED’d, no interview since they said it was purely for questions and they don’t track demonstrated interest. I wish the best of luck to all of yall.
ahhh hope we all get accepted! if you guys don’t mind sharing, what are ur stats? Also, what did u guys put down as ur intended major?
Sure no problem. SAT in 1500-1550 range, 4.0 gpa unweighted, 1 subject test, top 10%. Intended field is bio and neuroscience.
cool!I think I put either neuroscience or linguistics as my second choice too. My first choice is cognitive science though.
i have a 1520 SAT (i retook it October, but improved only by TEN points…what a waste of money LOL), three subject tests, and 3.71 UW GPA. my GPA’s pretty low b/c I came to the United States from a non-English speaking country in my sophomore year I hope they take that into account… ahh i emailed my alumni interviewer on tuesday, but haven’t got a reply yet. Should I try contacting him again? or should I wait?
Wow, cognitive science! I am super interested in that too (i would have picked it if I had a third choice). I’m sure your essays, EC’s, and other passions will be more important than your GPA so don’t worry about it! Your SAT score definitely demonstrates that you are skilled in English I think there’s no harm in sending them an email. Good luck!
Has anyone who requested an alumni interview gotten any news yet?
I requested one about 2 weeks ago and still haven’t heard back, should I email admissions? (I really don’t want to pester them about insignificant issues though).
Thanks!
Also, anyone else withering away from this torturous game of waiting? I literally have gone down every single rabbit hole of reading about (read: stalking) Pomona in an effort to get a glimpse of the decision date and just want to know so badly.
It will help so much if we can all commiserate together!
I’ve signed up for an interview on the first sunday of October, and recieved an email from Pomona on 10/30 (10/31?). So it takes about three weeks I guess. I got in touch with my interviewer yesterday and scheduled the interview for next week!
