My son got in! Was pleasantly surprised as his stats were good, but not exceptional (GPA 4.36, ACT 33). He submitted an art/music supplement that helped round out his overall application. Kudus to admissions on seeing his whole person!

DD rejected. 3.9 GPA, 35 ACT, 2 varsity sports, captain of one, most difficult curriculum possible at an independent school OOS. Didnā€™t read her application for Pomona, so not sure how strong it was.

#32

DD waitlisted. Anyone have any info about how big the waitlist is this year, other than what is on their website? Usually 8% of applicants put on waitlist according to Pomona website, so a big group.

#33

Last year 866 were offered a spot on the waitlist, 614 accepted the waitlist spot, and 13 were admitted from the waitlist (2%)

The previous year 840 were offered a spot on the waitlist, 570 accepted the waitlist spot, and 27 were admitted from the waitlist (5%)
