Hello, to the people that applied to pomona, can you try registering for admitted students day to see what it tells you. I got âFor admitted students onlyâ. I believe it predicts if you got in or not
https://www.pomona.edu/admissions/connect/admitted-students/admitted-students-days
@gummibear3 got waitlisted or rejected
Does anyone get a different message when they try that?
Said:
âERROR
For admitted Studendents Onlyâ
Made my heart fall to my rear ?. Hopefully, itâs not an indication of anything to read into for a rejection.
I really donât think it means anything!
??You have to click on registration link on the page. ??
Donât worry about it. The admitted data has not yet been released. Certainly it does not allow any RD applicants registering now. Do not underestimate the Pomona webmasters.
I thought I had read earlier that someone said 3 PST but I just saw it was 5 PST. Good luck to everyone
Soon, very soonâŠgood luck everyone.
ughhh so scared. just go waitlisted by UChicago, rejected by Swarthmore but got in Colby so idk how to feel
Decisions are up.
has anyone received the email?
Portal has been updated with results
Did you get into Pomona?
My son was denied. It was a long shot anyways. Best of luck to the rest of the applicants!
DD deniedâŠon to the next for her. Good luck to everyone!
DD was wait-listed.
Denied. Little upset, but was kind of expecting it because itâs so hard to get in.
