***Pomona College Class of 2022 Applicants Thread***

@NebbyBag yeah!!! this is going to be a hype class for sure. (if I get in, that is… :wink: )

@1wanttogotoCMU you should prob see your counselor in person first thing tomorrow. and…i guess it’s up to the applicant to check their portal regularly?? not too sure about that :confused:

my counselor said she posted my Q1 grades on commonapp, and I see that she submitted it under “mid year report.” is this the right place to submit them?? it’s been about 7 hours since she updated it but it’s not showing up on my portal :frowning:

Yeah if anybody has the grades submitted can you explain where to submit them? Don’t want to mess this up and not realize with the short amount of time left.

@enenalal @1wanttogotoCMU your counselor should submit your grades onto commonapp under “optional report” the mid year report is your semester report.

Update—the status of my portal changed! It says they received it.

and wow, it’s officially thursday!!! one more day til decisions. I’m so nervous :confused:

Now I’m nervous like crazy. Decisions are out tomorrow? Maybe one more week to go?
Is undecided major a disadvantage? Reason for wanting to go LAC is because I’m still undecided on my major.
My high school subjects are STEM/theater though.

EUGH SO UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING RN… The stress and anxiety has taken over my body and all I want to do is sleep until it’s Friday

So glad that you guys are all so kind and encouraging. My friends who applied to other schools told me that the people on their threads weren’t too awesome. Thankful to have you guys <3

Best wishes to all the ED applicants, and PLEASE don’t go on a stress junk-food binge! This is Pomona! Go on a stress health-food binge! I recommend avocados.

Good luck to people who has to fix their Q1 mess today. I have a pretty casual schedule today so I’ll be checking back often to see if I can help anyone out.

(It’s not like I can focus on anything else anyway :slight_smile: )

I’ve officially purchased a quart of Ben & Jerry’s, and while it will most certainly be gone by 6PM PST tomorrow, I’m hoping it will disappear in celebration rather than consolation. 35 more hours of waiting. Ooooooooooooooooonly 35 more. @-)

I feel so attached to this thread already haha, I really wish I could get to know you guys in person :-* regardless of wherever u guys end up, y’all will do great!!! @latteice one of our counselors got an email saying that decisions are out friday, I believe. I don’t think it’ll be a disadvantage necessarily, if you showed that you’re a good fit for pomona :wink:

aw yayy!! good luck to all, hopefully we can all meet in person!

Just saw this on Twitter:

ED1 applicants: You’ll likely notice that we’re asking for first marking period grades now (AKA first-quarter grades). We’re doing this for all applicants. Don’t be alarmed.

What majors are u all trying to do in Pomona

I’m trying for an English major, but I’m really interested in Pomona for the other spheres that a student can observe literature and rhetoric through, such as popular music and theatre.

guys, check mr joel hart’s twitter!

oops, didn’t realize someone made a post already. my bad! @nillupa i’m doing cogsci :slight_smile:

Does anyone know how long it takes for the quarter grades to be received? My counselor put them in this morning into common app under other the optional report and it’s still showing up as awaiting…

@1wanttogotoCMU I think that should be the right place to go! My counselor sent them off yesterday around 3pm, and it didn’t show up on the portal until this morning. Just wait a bit longer :wink:
