EndOfTheWorld: That was all really helpful - thank you a million times over! It’s encouraging to hear that the college likes Internationals! I’ve been getting the feeling that more students in the UK are applying to American Universities in general, and I guess that’s helping to fuel increased international student percentages at places like Pomona. I think universities in general are becoming more aware that the world isn’t as big anymore and that people are more mobile! Anyway, just one last question (I think): can you earn credit over the Summer? For example, if I were to help out at an archaeological excavation, and by completing it I earn credit, will the college accept that?

zrathrustra: thank you! I didn’t mean to exclude you from answering my questions! I appreciate your thoughts as well. If I got in, I’d probably be farthest away from a Math/Computer Science major! I envy you that you’ve got the skill to do Maths at university level because the SATs were enough for me! Seeing as you do athletics, do you know anything about the Claremont Colleges Rugby club?

Thanks again both of you!
