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 it’s fair to inform you you won’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 don’t get into Columbia are still very successful. :confused: I kind of want to read that letter.</p>

<p>I DON’T WANT TO GET REJECTED, give me an acceptance… AT THE VERY LEAST a deferral. does anyone know anyone who got straight rejected for ED to pomona in previous years?</p>

<p>I don’t think you’ll be rejected. I don’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 don’t know anyone who got flat-out rejected mostly because I haven’t looked into previous years’ threads.</p>

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

<p>I’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 I’m accepted so he doesn’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 I’ve been reading all the Pomona threads since summer started haha. I’m so excited/nervous, I applied ED1 and have been going through pretty much everything you guys have been. I’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 night… It’s SO scary. I had to do it when I interviewed and we had a 2 hour layover in East LA… not fun.</p>

<p>Sorry, I’m talking about it like it’s already a for sure thing :confused: I’m just too excited.</p>

<p>Aw, thanks thehangingtree! :slight_smile: Tamtastic I totally agree with you, carpooling would be amazing! I’ve only been up to Pomona once (for my interview too haha) but luckily I was able to find a ride. That’d be so cool, I’m crossing my fingers for everyone on here to be accepted. LESS THAN ONE WEEK!! aggghhh haha I haven’t been able to study or do anything today, my mind’s been consumed with Pomona. Hopefully we can both rep SD tho ;)</p>

<p>Yeah, my mom doesn’t support my applying to Pomona… so I had to take the Greyhound… Haha, totally! I can’t wait. And like someone said before… I don’t remember who, let’s all hope for a clean sweep for the CC crowd!</p>

<p>Wow that’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 I’m the only ED. It’d be so cool if we all got accepted, we can look back on it when we’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. I’m the only one ED from my school, too. I don’t think as many as fourteen are applying RD though… No, I haven’t! What is it?</p>

<p>I’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. It’s this 4-part video tour on youtube, I liked it! It calmed me for some reason haha. [Walking</a> Backward: The Pomona College Video Tour (1 of 4) - YouTube](<a href=ā€œ- YouTubeā€>- YouTube)</p>

<p>That’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. It’s pretty cool. (: And NP for a few posts ago. (:</p>

<p>yeah ahha… cc is linked through naviance :slight_smile: we’re famous :P</p>
