Yes. I sent a brief video that I used for a prescreening for another school and they sent me one

Hello, to the people that applied to pomona, can you try registering for admitted students day to see what it tells you. I got “For admitted students only”. 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:
“ERROR
For admitted Studendents Only”

Made my heart fall to my rear ?. Hopefully, it’s not an indication of anything to read into for a rejection.

I really don’t think it means anything!

??You have to click on registration link on the page. ??

Don’t 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 soon
good 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 denied
on to the next for her. Good luck to everyone!

DD was wait-listed.

Denied. Little upset, but was kind of expecting it because it’s so hard to get in.
