Just starting this thread since we are about a month away from ED 2 admits. First time going thru this in our family and don’t have a good handle of the Pomona ED 2 stats. Interested in what people have experienced. Plus we can use this thread to post admit day info.
Pomona’s site says ED 2 notification is “by 2/15”. Does that mean they might do it earlier? How has it worked in the past?
In the past, it’s generally been the Friday before the “by” date. So guessing 2/14 5p PST?
Ahh I am so nervous!
Anybody knows stats from past years in terms of number of applicants, acceptance rate etc? Do they defer in ED 2, or is it just accept/reject?
I’ve never seen ED2 stats broken out over the past 8 or so years. The past 2 years nobody reported being deferred ED2 (although hardly anybody reported anything), but several people reported being deferred in previous years (and eventually being accepted!).
Thanks. I was hoping there was more thorough data somewhere. I don’t how much one can rely on CC postings as representative.
Ha ha! You definitely can’t! FWIW, I’ve known a couple of “insiders” over the years and all I’ve heard is that file review is shorter for II than I, and there are more athlete ED Is than IIs. In fact, this is the first year I can ever remember them releasing the number of ED I admits.
Anybody have insight into numbers of ED2 applications and/or how many they take? Getting close to that time!
Less than 2 weeks left. Good luck everyone.

My college counselor told me that decisions are released 2/7.
ED1s were released a week earlier than usual this year, so 2/7 would be consistent with that. Pomona admissions is very active on SM and generally teases the release date, which has been on Fridays since they began doing it online.
That would be nice to get it earlier. But what teasers are you seeing on SM? I don’t see anything.
So is today supposed to be the day? Anybody have inside info?
I checked all of social media but couldn’t find anything 
Looking at this year’s ED1 thread, they directly asked Pomona through Instagram when the release date will be.
hey pals!!!
just called Pomona admissions and I have confirmed that decisions are coming out on the 14th!
what trait/quirk do you think is gonna make you stand out to the admissions team at Pomona
Thanks. Now I can stop rechecking today. One more week…
Nah bro they announced like 15 minutes ago on their FB page that it’s today at 7pm PST
