Who else got waitlisted to Pomona?
meee!
Did you letter say how many applications there were this year?
Nope, it only said how many applicants accepted the waitlist offer last year and the number of people they took off the waitlist
I got accepted off the waitlist last year and the main thing I can tell you is to send an email with a statement of interest to your admissions rep and update them on your academic progress. I sent in my IB predicted scores and that was I getting an award at the end of the school year. Make it clear why you’re interested in Pomona and what you can contribute uniquely to the college!
I just got accepted off the waitlist! I got a call.
@oakmossfig Can you tell us your stats? If you sent an LOC, if you’re in state or domestic, etc?
I had a 34 act and a 3.8 GPA. Not great extracurriculars if I’m honest but I feel that my story was definitely interesting and I took the hardest classes available to me this year and did well. Sent in an effusive letter a couple of weeks ago essentially saying that I would 100% go to Pomona if given the opportunity- which I will be doing, barring any financial complications. I’m in state. Super happy! My mom and I have been talking about it non-stop. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
Has anyone else gotten any updates from the WL?
When did you hear about getting off waitlist and how did you find out ?
I just got in off the waitlist! I got a call and they offered me a spot. For the person who got in already, did they send you an email or update your portal quickly after? Until I have something concrete I’m going to feel like it’s fake.
I just got off the waitlist too yesterday! They said they would send me an admissions packet. Not sure if they meant via mail or the internet (probably mail?). Very excited ;))
Can I ask if you are a domestic student or international one? I’m an international one waiting to hear from the waitlist so I just wondered if maybe they informed us at different points?
@waitlister08 My daughter got in off the waitlist–she is a domestic student. Phone call first, and then a portal change notification about 24 hrs. later.
Okay thank you for that-so they notify by call? Still waiting to hear keeping everything crossed!
Have any international students heard?
Is the waiting list activity complete?
