@enenalal thank you!! best of luck to you!
Hi! Firstly, congratulations to everyone who has been accepted to Pomona through Questbridge and POSSE! That’s so exciting.
I applied to Pomona Early Decision (I), and I am anxiously waiting for the decision… Even if I do not get into Pomona or am deferred, I would just love to know the decision ahh - it has been difficult to stay patient for this long!
The Pomona Admissions website says that decisions should be out by December 15th, but does anyone know if Pomona ED I decisions come out a bit earlier or exactly on the 15th? Will decisions be emailed to applicants and/or available on the Pomona Portal?
Thanks so much, and best of luck to everyone! 
@alexmatpat Pomona will send you an email saying there has been an update to your application. There they will give you a link in which you will click and will send you to the log in screen. Once you log in it will say that there has been an update to your application and you will have to click “View Update” once you click it it will show your decision!
That’s so exciting for everyone who is getting in. Does anyone know the notification date trends for the last few years? Really hoping that it is some time before the 15th…
@grodriguez Oh my god congratulations! You must be so happy seeing all your hard work paid off Celebrate hard this weekend, woohoo!
@NebbyBag Thank you so much i appreciate it!! I will celebrate very hard indeed this weekend i’m very happy to be a Sagehen!
Thank you so much! And congratulations on your acceptance - enjoy these next few weeks during the holiday season!
The class of ‘19, ‘20, and ‘21 all got their ED 1 results friday before the 15th, on 5 PM (PST).
Which means…we only have 5 days til decisions day??? Wow. I cannot wait. I’m so nervous and i’m freaking out omg
My Internet stalking has yielded the same results. Five days. Can anyone else not breathe? 
^^^^ I feel the same 
@dyinginside Hahaha, SAME! Most times I am very calm and then I would get hit periodically by the “by next week this day, I would know the decision” anxiety and have a little heart attack. It really helps to talk about it though!
Let’s do a decision playlist/ background songs! I saw this idea in a previous year’s ED thread but I thought it is so fun and can help relax our poor, nervous hearts. (and get some decent music recommendations)
For me, it would be:
Acceptance: Best Day of My Life / Happy (haha, I know it’s cliché)
Deferral: Time Decides (Trent Dabbs)
Rejection: Someone Like You
What about you guys?
Excellent idea! I am a huge musical theatre nerd, so mine would be…
Accepted: Miracle of Miracles (Fiddler on the Roof)
Deferred: Breathe (In the Heights)
Rejected: The B*tch of Living (Spring Awakening)
Or I Feel Pretty (West Side Story) for accepted. Can’t believe I forgot that one.
Celine Dion “All By Myself” for rejection hahahahaha
Coldest Winter from Pentatonix works too heh
As for acceptance, the Pomona College Choir has a video of them singing Hallelujah on YouTube. I’ll definitely be playing that one.
Acceptance: 24k Magic
Defferral / Rejection: Fix you
ahhh i feel so nervous every time i visit this thread. ahhhh. i feel like i’m gonna get rejected…but then i feel like I might get in…but again, it’s so hard to get in…LOL it’s just a cycle
Me too. On the one hand, I’m glad we’re not doing the whole scores, grades, extracurriculars thing to compare because it’s such a nice collaborative community, but one the other hand, I’m terrified I don’t stack up. This whole competitive college business is pretty miserable.
Anyone else feeling a sense of regret EDing to Pomona? Since I completely forgot about Brown existing and only realized it after I ED’d, I’m kinda feeling sad because I could’ve ED1’d Brown and ED2 Pomona. Maybe it’s because I’m subconsciously trying to prepare and protect myself for the results this Friday, but Pomona’s lack of prestige is surprisingly becoming more prevalent in my thoughts especially because of Brown on my mind. hmmmm. On the flip side, my thinking about my Rejection or Deferral letter isn’t anywhere near as painful as before, just numb.
I love this playlist recommendation idea. Writing about and analyzing music is something I’ve been passionate about for a long time, and Pomona’s staff and resources in this regard are really why I chose to apply ED to the college. So if I have to narrow it down to just 3, here are my picks.
Acceptance: “What Is a Booty” - Del the Funky Homosapien
Deferral: “Why Keep On Breaking My Heart” - Nina Simone
Rejection: “Sentado à Beira do Caminho” - Erasmo Carlos
Best of luck to all of you, keep your fingers crossed for Friday!
@IllIlllIIllllll
I kinda felt that way early on. not that i wanted to go to another school, but I kept asking myself – “do I know FOR SURE pomona is where i want to be???”
But after the two hour interview w/ my interviewer, those doubts disappeared IMMEDIATELY… i am crushing SO HARD on pomona & i’m so glad i applied ED 1 the best decision i made in my life. i also am a person who cares about prestige and all, so I was lowkey frustrated when ppl asked me why the heck i was ED-ing to CAL POLY pomona. but really, my interviewer did a great job making me fall in love with pomona haha. now, i really don’t give a crap about whether everyone knows it or not, because i LOVE IT sooooooooooooo much.
maybe u should think about WHY u didn’t ED brown in the first place.cuz there’s probably a reason why u didn’t ED 1 there…
Pomona may not be the place for everyone…but i think it’s the best school in the universe. 
@enenalal I think you may be on the wrong thread if you are applying to Cal Poly Pomona…
