If you like to ski so much, why did you apply to Pomona? Well, I guess there is skiing about an hour away from here for a couple months a year, but you’ll need a car to get there. There is also skiing on Mt. Baldy (15 minutes away), but the season is very short there (too much sun to melt the snow). There aren’t that many skiers at Pomona.

I’ve never heard of Holy Cross and don’t know anything about Colgate or Colby, but you seem like a strong applicant for any school. My D also applied to Dickinson and I think it is a safety for you except for the fact that it is in Penn. and so are you. Pomona is a reach because of your test scores, but it is a crap shoot for everybody. You sound like an interesting person and that always helps. Who knows, maybe they won’t have any applicants from your particular area this year. Just applying to Pomona is a pain, so congrats on getting through that application!

Waiting is excruciating. The best thing you can do is forget about it all and try to enjoy high school right now. Time does pass, albeit sloooowly.
