I wrote about being gay in Colombia, about an organization and Artificial Intelligence app I have started to make education accessible throughout Latin America, about my volunteer work in foster homes and underserved children with cancer. I also made myself stand out with unique responses to the short questions creating connecting threads between the rest of my application with new, more lighthearted information.

Dude you are seriously so cool! Your volunteer work and innovation is super impressive, big congrats on Pomona
Your attitude and support of others is so terrific. I have zero doubt you will do great things not just in college but in life. Good luck!! Where do you think you will go?

Did they send the personalized videos to ED admits or RD only?

Nothing for ED. RDs got personalized videos, some received succulents in the mail. Aside from the congratulations in the portal ED did not receive anything, including nothing in the mail. Some EDs are feeling a bit ghosted.

Edited: at least 2 accepted from waitlist.
I understand there was no waitlist admissions this year due to the covid shuffle - 85 deferred from class of 2024 to 2025.
I suspect your friend was referring to cal poly Pomona.
My daughters were admitted from the waitlist, class of 2025.
