[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our youngest daughter wants to go to Pomona, but the acceptance rate for females was apparently 5% this year. What are they looking for among admitted students? [b]She has a 1480 SAT and a perfect GPA with the most rigorous courseload possible (no rank)[/b]. How should she tailor her app? She has legacy through me to Princeton so she's applying SCEA there just to see. She will do ED2 if Princeton doesn't work out; RD if it does.[/quote] There has to be more than high stats: "She has a 1480 SAT and a perfect GPA with the most rigorous courseload possible (no rank)." This state alone is a sign of a book worm. As in Princeton, you have to show she's more than a book warm. There are tons of students with high stats. Princeton and Pomona (and UCLA, UCBerkely) routinely reject one-dimensional students. [/quote]
