waitlisted
waitlisted: 4.0UW, 34 ACT, very involved in local government and good ec’s, essays, and recs… I’m also from Kentucky so I have the geographic diversity piece of it all. why so many waitlists? maybe acceptances haven’t been posted yet.
Waitlisted at Pomona, but Accepted at CMC!!
@smithemi97 If it’s your first choice, I would take the spot. You deserve to get in and you never know what might happen, especially if you keep them updated with extra information as the time dwindles down
One of my friends graduated from CMC. From what I know CMC is better suited to those looking for an exceptional Govt, Economics, Politics kind of a curriculum. They look for a profile that is very specific. If you met my friend you would understand. I dont quite know how to express it except its the kind that you would find in interns in the white house - part of the establishment, a bit conservative.
I’m so sad. I had a 3.99 and 33 and I have placed in national powerlifting competitions - which I featured in my video supplement - and I wrote my why CMC essay about how no other school ever felt like somewhere I could see myself spending the next 4 years until I visited their school and it felt like home.
And now I eat pizza.
Accepted (I’m crying and dying because dream school) (I’m on PUNKD)
I got in! Does anyone know if news about McKenna Scholars (merit scholarship) was released?
Rejected, but I knew that was coming, its just too low of an acceptance rate! I got into Berkeley early though so it didn’t really matter at this point anyway!
Accepted! I’m really excited as Claremont and Pitzer are among my top choices. Fingers crossed for good mail later this week and good luck to rest of you for the rest of the college decisions yet to come out.
Stats for the curious:

W: 4.25

I learned from the 2015 common data set that 16% of the students accepting waitlisted were at last admitted, so I’m planning to write a love letter.
Claremont colleges are all among my top choices!!
Fingers crossed for Scripps.
@sppanda If you received a merit scholarship, it should be mentioned in your acceptance letter on the portal, including McKenna scholars
@happywaterbottle thanks!
