<p>Does anybody have any idea how many applicants Pomona usually waitlists and, out of those applicants, how many they take off the waitlist (i.e. what their yield is)?
As a Pomona waitlistee (sad face) I would very much appreciate this knowledge (:</p>
<p>I’m also on the waitlist. Last year no one (0) got off the waitlist. The year before I believe it was 6. I believe the wait list has at least 200 students on it. I feel your pain.</p>
<p>In this thread,(<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pomona-college/492303-ask-info-waitlist.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pomona-college/492303-ask-info-waitlist.html</a>) I saw that as many as 20 people can be taken off of the waitlist.</p>
<p>Still, if 200 people accept a spot on the waitlist, that means that the maximum probability of being taken off the waitlist is 10%.</p>
<p>=</p>
<p>I am also waitlisted for Pomona. No reply yet. I’m pretty sure that at this point the odds aren’t looking so great. Have you done anything to get off the waitlist? Any news? Anybody asked the admissions office about when we’ll get a decision? I called a while back, and they said possibly the 9th.</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat. Still no answer (just drove (a long distance) to the post office hoping for at least some answer). Has anyone contacted them more recently?</p>
<p>I thought I would hear back today as well…but I didn’t receive anything either. </p>
<p>I think I’ll call the admissions office tomorrow or Wednesday.</p>
<p>@VV: If you find out more from the admissions office please post it for everyone else on the waitlist.</p>
<p>Yeah, I called a month ago, and they told me May 9th. Still nothing. Do you know if Pomona calls or mails a response? Some schools call students.</p>
<p>Just got in.</p>
<p>Congrats! Are you accepting your offer? I hope to see you there in the fall!</p>
<p>Pomona told my D there are 400 students on the wait list.</p>
<p>how did you find out? via paper mail? I’m scared.</p>
<p>I got a call by Mr. Art D Rodriguez offering me a spot. Thank you very much. And I’m most definitely accepting.</p>
<p>Took my spot on the waitlist and got nothing :/</p>
<p>Congrats you guys, it’s an amazing school</p>
<p>Congrats on those who have gotten in! I just called the admissions office, and they told me that we would have a definitive answer by the second week in June.</p>
<p>sorry to bother you, but I have another question. Did they call your house phone or cell?</p>
<p>My D received a phone call from Art Rodrigues offering her a spot off the wait list. After jumping up and down for a few minutes, she enthusiastically accepted. She is thrilled and, even though she will now be leaving the right coast for the left coast, we are happy for her.
To all that were waitlisted - you should be proud for getting this far and I am sure you will be happy and do well at whatever school you decide to attend.</p>
<p>I got in off of the waitlist list 2 days ago. I’m an athlete, so I got a call from the coach. Congrats to the others who got off the list… and good luck to those who are still waiting to hear back.</p>
<p>what sport do you play?</p>
<p>Did anyone who got off of the waitlist also apply for financial aid? If so, did they meet your need?</p>
