<p>Thanks @kwog64. Best wishes to you and your daughter! Time to celebrate all that your daughter has achieved. BTW just mentioning Frozen brings on that ear worm. I wish I could let that go!</p>
<p>Just in case someone sees this thread some day: Pomona College gives you feedback about why you didn’t get in. Helped put the 'no’s in perspective.</p>
<p>FYI for folks reading this thread in the future - Friday 6/13 she received the email informing her the freshman class is full and they do not anticipate any future openings. “Consequently, we are releasing our waiting list.”</p>
<p>Looking back on it - we all got excited by reading the threads from previous years, and the happy posts from the kids who got accepted off the list. It was nice to hear the encouragement from others on the list, or those who had been accepted. But don’t forget that it really is out of your control, other than doing the type of follow-up that they recommend. Staying positive and hopeful feels good while you’re waiting, but it doesn’t matter to VC one way or the other. If your kid’s devastated by being put on the list, let 'em be devastated. Might help them move on sooner. Much easier to deal with a surprise acceptance than another drawn-out rejection.</p>
