are you being sarcastic when you say you think you’re GPA and ECs are sucky? a SATII 700 is not crap. (i think you’re trying to be humble, but there’s a limit to self-deprecation.)

aleph4, aka my homie alejandro, is right, don’t stress too much man. i got into pomona, and my stats were somewhat similar to yours, albeit slightly more focused, but that makes no difference.

give yourself more credit, dude. i’m asian too, i know how competitive it gets with everyone else, and your folks sometimes get on your butt about where the 1% on your 99% paper went.

now, remember, it’s your senior year. enjoy it. stop coming to this website all panicking, posting your stats in midsummer. go to a school dance. ask a hot girl out. (or guy, if that’s your thing. pomona is really open. we’ll accept you no matter what.)

finally, when the time comes to apply for pomona ED, CAREFULLY CONSIDER it. remember, it doesn’t have the name recognition that stanford/harvard/northwestern may have (though the benefits are obviously better). but realize you’ll get a lot of blank looks when you mention it to your peers. so think carefully, young grasshopper.

but for now, go to the beach and get a tan, for the love of christ!
