Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I've applied to Pomona ED1 and I'm slightly nervous. I have good grades but my score isn't that great. </p>

<p>ACT: 31C (31 W, 34 M, 29 R, 29 S)
GPA: 4.0 UW, 4.8 W
in honor societies at school
did a summer technology internship
4 year varsity water polo and swim
on a club water polo team that won 1st place at Junior Olympics (also is a huge commitment)
have done some volunteer work
did interview with school, did overnight stay with water polo team</p>

<p>Being heavily recruited by the water polo coach (the coach listed me as their top recruit). He said that admissions sees me as a good candidate. </p>

<p>Experience with athletic departments of highly selective schools would be helpful. Thank you and I hope to receive some clarity from this as I am scared about not getting in.</p>

<p>I would say this is a low reach.</p>
