I agree that you have a solid chance of being accepted. Don’t stress about SAT IIs because I’m pretty sure that they don’t play a big role in admissions (mine were 670 and 640). Your SAT score is great and that definitely does matter to Pomona. Geographic diversity and gender will give you a slight edge. Your GPA and upward trend should be okay (won’t work to your advantage but won’t disqualify you either). Your EC’s are great and it’s good that you chose to write about something unique in your essays because I think that Pomona appreciates that. Also, have you had an interview (on campus or alumni)? because according to Pomona that also is very important in the admissions process. Anyways, Good luck and I think you stand a very good chance! Just curious, where else are you applying?
