Pomona College!

Transfer Students
1

<p>Ok so my 2nd choice school is Pomona College and I'm dead serious about this school, plus, it's very difficult to transfer there so I have lots of questions! So nervous!</p>

<p>They only let in about 16 transfers per year and I've heard a big point of their school is the philosophy of picking active students with potential and lots of extracurriculars. My Stats are decent but the Ec's are only ok. here they are:</p>

<p>Cumulative GPA: 3.92
Major:Media Studies
Units: Will have completed about 56 by app time.
EC's: Magna Cum Laude, Environmental Club, Latinos Unidos, Dean's list since fall 2006, transcribed a documentary from english-spanish for a non profit, worked the LA Film festival.
work-none :(
about my ec's, I only really got serious about that stuff this year [as a sophomore] will this reflect negatively on me? And especially bc I haven't taken any actual cinema classes [they're terrible at my school]
additional stuff:1st generation college student, i help my parents with their financial services business ocassionally</p>

<p>P.S. Anybody that has been admitted to Pomona either as a freshman or as a transfer please help me out with the interview? What did the admissions officer ask? what to wear? etc.,</p>

<p>:D thankss!</p>

<p>ouch! even as a transfer!?
Not too awesome- 1900.
With a school like that it's more way more than GPA so, I hope I give a good impression at the interview :)</p>
