<p>CaliCollege, I did the exact same thing as you. I took a full-time load of courses at a local community college in lieu of traditional HS, though it seems like I had more ECs (I participated in cross country and track at the local HS and was part of a high-adventure Boy Scout group).</p>
<p>So aside from keeping your grades up and really finding a passion of yours that you pursue outside of school (do this ASAP, doesn’t matter what it is as long as you pursue it with verve), I have to stress that standardized test scores are incredibly important, especially for students like you and me. Because you aren’t taking a standardized high school curriculum, Pomona wants to know how difficult/demanding your curriculum actually is, and what you’ve gotten out of it, which is why the standardized test scores are so critical. They need to have an objective metric to judge you by. My [“accepted</a>” post](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pomona-college/1257498-official-pomona-2016-decisions-3.html#post13863686"]"accepted”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pomona-college/1257498-official-pomona-2016-decisions-3.html#post13863686) outlines my test scores, coursework, and extracurriculars, and so might be of use to a similar student like yourself. If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to post here or private message me. Best of luck!</p>
