My D sent in her ED application last week, and I'm wondering if any of the other visitors to the Pomona forum have applied, or have offspring who have applied ED for the class of 2014. We need some company for the long wait! She is crazy about Pomona, so the suspense is intense.

Yep. Same boat here. She is already counting down days until December 15. I am predicting a very stressful time around our house.

I applied early decision! It is a relief to have my application turned in, but waiting isn't much better!

I applied Early Decision as well.
I'm sure I'm the same as your daughter. I cannot wait until the decision comes. Hoping for good news!

So it's 9am, and I couldn't sleep tonight. So I spent about 6 hours reading all the Pomona threads in this forum, since 2004.

It feels like this year there is a disproportionately low amount of posts, interest, and overall activity in Pomona and the Pomona forum here on College Confidential.

CC doesn't really reflect upon the actual applicant pool of course, but I have to admit I feel better about my own application if there isn't a large amount of applications.

And December 15th cannot come fast enough. I think I'll be totally crushed if I get rejected. I spent so much time reading about dorms,the town of Claremont, Some Curst the bakery (looks AMAZING), and everything else year it'll be terrible if I don't get to go.

I think I'm being a little crazy now.

The Chronicle of Higher Ed reports that Pomona's ED apps increased by only 2% this year. Much better than last year's whopping increase. So if there are any other ED hopefuls out there, you can breathe a small sigh of relief on this one.

Oops - wrong source! I thought I could remember where I read that, but it was from Inside Higher Ed instead: News: Another Increase for Early Decision - Inside Higher Ed Sorry to anyone who went looking!
