"I apologize for my delay in communicating with you and hope that you haven’t grown too frustrated with us. I am writing to provide an update. Currently, our freshman class is full but there remains the possibility that a space may still become available.

Should an opening occur, I would like to offer you admission. Although I cannot guarantee an outcome, we certainly will move to get you clear information as quickly as we can and will communicate by phone or email to minimize delay of news. If financial aid and scholarship support is a concern, please know we will continue to provide aid to the full extent of demonstrated need and continue to make admission decisions on a need-blind basis.

You may have seen some of the many recent newspaper articles and late breaking news about many colleges and universities offering, in some cases, an unusually large number of places to students from their waiting lists. While this has not been the case at Pomona , we know this year that things may change and in the admissions world, dominoes sometimes fall that may provide an opportunity in the Pomona College Class of 2013, as well.

If you are interested in remaining active on our waitlist, email me at admissions@pomona.edu as soon as possible with the information requested below and with “ENROLLMENT POSSIBILITY” in the subject line.

Please be sure we have emailing and telephone contact information you would prefer we utilize should a space become available. I know we are asking you to hold on a bit longer and I am very sorry for the uncertainty of the situation and, again, thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,

Bruce J. Poch
Vice President and
Dean of Admissions"

It seems like they should have sent you SOMETHING, be it this email, or otherwise… Wait a couple days for a letter, then email an inquiry.
