Haverford will not cover international travel expenses, or any summer expenses.

There is a guaranteed student loan that both these colleges use, so every American student gets the student loan, and THEN, the aid kicks in. I don’t know how that works for international students. That loan is considered “aid” for American students at these two particular colleges, as we got that type of package from both of them, and surprised that the guaranteed student loan was the aid.
Son had to turn both of these fine LACS down for a cheaper school. Son was waitlisted at Pomona, so we did not know if all aid was given out by then or we just did not qualify for more than the $5000 guaranteed student loan.
Pomona has a policy that if you are waitlisted, you have to keep your cell phone on, from May 1 to May 10, continually, and answer any call from their admissions office, or they simply move to the next student on the waitlist. they do NOT leave any Voice mail or email messages, they either reach the student or if they don’t, they keep calling to find a student to take the spot. They have to fill up, so they don’t waste much time, but did circle back and called my son on about May 2, and again on May 4, as he missed the first call. If you call the number they call from, they don’t pick up either, its truly pretty annoying how the waitlist works at Pomona College. I don’t recommend getting onto Pomona’s Waitlist, if it comes to that.
