<p>I live in Northern California and go to a public high school. I'm pretty interesting in Pomona, and I definitely want to go into the sciences. So first, how good do you think the physics, bio, neuroscience, and cogsci programs are at pomona? also, here are my stats for chances:</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0 unweighted, ~4.3 weighted cumulative.
Class rank: somewhere in the top 5 out of 300
AP: 10th- World (5) 11th- Physics B (5), Language Comp (5), US History (5) 12th- Bio, Gov, Calc AB, Physics C independently.
SAT: 2270 R:790 M:780 W:700
SAT II: Physics- 780 Math 2-760 Chem-760 World History-770
ACT: 35 (E-35 M-33 R-35 S-36 E/W- 32 essay 9)
EC: debate 3 years, track 4 years, XC 1 year
Volunteer: 11th and 12th grade volunteer kitchen for cancer patients, ~3hrs/week
Summer: debate camp and engineering camp
getting recommendations from english and physics teacher, both will be strong
essay will hopefully be strong; a very candid look at my inner character told through a simple experience</p>
<p>my biggest concern is that I am not taking spanish this year. I took spanish 1, 2 and 3 but am not doing spanish 4 honors this year because i would rather do AP Bio and they conflict. Do you think this will be a potentially crippling weakness?
Please respond, I'm very interested in Pomona and curious what you think. Thanks!</p>
