Pomona College RD 2015

<p>Who else is waiting for this decision? On the website, I think I read that the decisions come out April 5. Does it really come out that late? All of my other colleges come out by April 1.</p>

<p>I am waiting also. The e-mail Pomona sent out on 2/19 said “early April.” I don’t know any more than that.</p>

<p>Hmm…what other schools did you apply to?</p>

<p>I hope they come out earlier…</p>

<p>Do the decisions come in the mail or can you get them online?</p>

<p>@usernamee - Pomona and Cal are my top two. Also applied to USC and a couple of other UCs. I’m in CA and want to stay here. You?</p>

<p>^^ Pomona still mails their decisions. My guess is it’ll come one of those last few days in March. Hopefully, at least!</p>

<p>@Matrix 123, well, i applied to a few ivies and stanford, which are a little high reach for me though and then i applied to uc’s…i got into UCLA so that is my top choice as of now and then i applied to pomona and claremont mckenna. i live in cali too :D</p>

<p>Mail-only is so irritating.
I hope it comes on the 28th. That’d be so awesome since I get home from vacation on that day.</p>

<p>Mail? I don’t even know what that is anymore! :P</p>

<p>Damn, waiting game sucks. Waiting games suck more after losses and double losses.</p>

<p>ahhh mail is both frustrating & nerve-racking for me, I’ve got a PO Box with a notorious tendency to squish & disfigure mail if I’m lucky enough for it not to get lost or mis-sorted @__@;</p>

<p>I’ve done well so far & got into UCLA which is my top UC choice, but I also applied to a ton of Ivies + Stanford, getting into Pomona would give me hope for some of the others…</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>@muramurasakisaki seems like we applied to similar places! if you read my comment above…very similar haha</p>

<p>I saw April 5th for the notification date as well, but I definitely wish it would come sooner!</p>

<p>early april sounds REALLY LATE to me, esp with the ivies releasing their decisions on march 30th this year. why would pomona want to wait to mail until early april, then have snail mail creep across the country until folks get their decisions a full week after the ivies and stanford? doesn’t make sense that they would want to have the other schools start courting admittees a full week before they do.</p>

<p>maybe.</p>

<p>^ I was thinking the same thing.</p>

<p>So it is out on April 5?</p>

<p>Those published dates are usually the latest they will come out. A better indication would be what happened last year. That would be a week from Friday.</p>

<p>Daughter is a freshman at Pomona and received her RD acceptance envelope on March 29th. (We are in northern CA.) She heard from the Ivies three days later, on April 1st. It was far more exciting to get that big envelope from Pomona than the other acceptances via email.</p>

<p>Thanks for the helpful information. The key is to simply stay busy/distracted so the days fly by…? (lol) D & us parents are patiently waiting…</p>

<p>The waiting is very difficult and distracting. </p>

<p>I find it interesting that there are a relatively limited number of posts from current Pomona students on cc as compared to the amount on the UC threads. Of course, the student population pool is much smaller given Pomona’s size but it might also indicate that Pomona students simply have better things to do than hang out on cc. </p>

<p>It does seem odd though that the R.D. applicants aren’t speculating and spending a lot of time on cc in these days leading up to Pomona’s decisions coming out as is the case with a lot of other threads as I know there are applicants out there who want to be accepted to Pomona just as much as applicants to other schools do. Maybe Pomona applicants are just more patient all around? Sorry for musing aloud - I just find this all interesting.</p>
