Progress Reports

<p>My friend was rejected from Stanford EA. Gah now I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO KNOW</p>

<p>i was sitting right next to my friend when she opened up her wellesley rejection :,( it was really harsh 'cause it said ā€œsince we expect the regular decision applicant pool to be just as competitive, we think itā€™s fair to inform you you wonā€™t be accepted in april.ā€</p>

<p>Awww. </3 Sorry to your friend. ):</p>

<p>Apparently the Columbia rejection letter was pretty much dissing itself by saying that people who donā€™t get into Columbia are still very successful. :confused: I kind of want to read that letter.</p>

<p>I DONā€™T WANT TO GET REJECTED, give me an acceptanceā€¦ AT THE VERY LEAST a deferral. does anyone know anyone who got straight rejected for ED to pomona in previous years?</p>

<p>I donā€™t think youā€™ll be rejected. I donā€™t know what your stats are but your enthusiasm for Pomona probably shows through on your app. Or if the admissions officers are reading this, then yeah. But no, I donā€™t know anyone who got flat-out rejected mostly because I havenā€™t looked into previous yearsā€™ threads.</p>

<p>Yeah, all of my friends are basically annoyed at me because its all Iā€™ve been talking about for the past couple of months -_- But everybody on CC is enthusiastic and passionate! :D</p>

<p>Iā€™ve been fortunate to have a friend also applying ED to Pomona, so we freak out together haha But seriously the rest of my friends want to kill me, and one of them is more of a frenemy and she always looks at me with this like ā€œare you seriously trying to be accepted thereā€ look. I hope I get in if only so I can shove it in her face for always giving me condescending stares. hahaha My dad said he hopes Iā€™m accepted so he doesnā€™t have to go through this whole waiting for acceptance thing again in a few months.</p>

<p>AHHHH, I have one of those frenemies too :stuck_out_tongue: I just want to give all of my friends good news :)</p>

<p>First post on cc I think! Anyway Iā€™ve been reading all the Pomona threads since summer started haha. Iā€™m so excited/nervous, I applied ED1 and have been going through pretty much everything you guys have been. Iā€™m from San Diego too tamtastic! (:</p>

<p>oooooh, a fellow san diegan :smiley: if we both get in we should like talk about all things pomona :D</p>

<p>Hey Firelily! I love your name btw. :)</p>

<p>OH, and firelily, also if we both end up at Pomona we could arrange ride situations 'cause I hate going down from Claremont to San Diego on the Greyhound at nightā€¦ Itā€™s SO scary. I had to do it when I interviewed and we had a 2 hour layover in East LAā€¦ not fun.</p>

<p>Sorry, Iā€™m talking about it like itā€™s already a for sure thing :confused: Iā€™m just too excited.</p>

<p>Aw, thanks thehangingtree! :slight_smile: Tamtastic I totally agree with you, carpooling would be amazing! Iā€™ve only been up to Pomona once (for my interview too haha) but luckily I was able to find a ride. Thatā€™d be so cool, Iā€™m crossing my fingers for everyone on here to be accepted. LESS THAN ONE WEEK!! aggghhh haha I havenā€™t been able to study or do anything today, my mindā€™s been consumed with Pomona. Hopefully we can both rep SD tho ;)</p>

<p>Yeah, my mom doesnā€™t support my applying to Pomonaā€¦ so I had to take the Greyhoundā€¦ Haha, totally! I canā€™t wait. And like someone said beforeā€¦ I donā€™t remember who, letā€™s all hope for a clean sweep for the CC crowd!</p>

<p>Wow thatā€™s so cool that you took the initiative and made it happen! I just want to know the decision and get it over with. There are about 14 people at my school applying, but I think Iā€™m the only ED. Itā€™d be so cool if we all got accepted, we can look back on it when weā€™re actually there as students. Have you seen the walking backwards video tour on youtube?</p>

<p>Yeah ahha, I hope my fighter attitude gives me an edge. Iā€™m the only one ED from my school, too. I donā€™t think as many as fourteen are applying RD thoughā€¦ No, I havenā€™t! What is it?</p>

<p>Iā€™m sure it will! Yeah my school is crazy competitive, last year 22 applied to Pomona but only 3 were accepted, and they were all really good applicants. Itā€™s this 4-part video tour on youtube, I liked it! It calmed me for some reason haha.

<p>Thatā€™s so cool! ahahah, really informative. What school do you go to?</p>

<p>So I just went to see if I could find out how many people are applying to Pomona through Naviance and I realized that our posts actually show up on that site. Itā€™s pretty cool. (: And NP for a few posts ago. (:</p>

<p>yeah ahhaā€¦ cc is linked through naviance :slight_smile: weā€™re famous :P</p>
