Be realistic when you apply. 11-15% of admits each year are internationals at Pomona. It has an overall admit rate of 7.4%. That makes your chances very, very small as a baseline. And on top of that, Pomona is need aware for admission. (Yes they meet need, but only once you get over the hurdle of need being a factor in the admission decision.) So just be realistic that it is a reach for anyone, and a higher reach for internationals, and a higher reach still for internationals who need aid. If you get in it will be fabulous, but your chances are necessarily very low.
