[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be careful of ED to Pomona. It is a very small admit rate (only 13% in spite of all the athletic admits, of which there are comparatively quite a few).

What will really help your application is if you can submit an SAT score above 1550.

155 students submit an SAT score, with only 39 students in the entire Pomona freshman class scoring above that.[/quote]

I know kids with very high SAT scores who didn't get in.  Maybe Pomona doesn't care much about SAT.[/quote]
Our kid with a 1600 was rejected last year.[/quote]

No offense, Pomona was probably thinking why this person applied there.  Only 55 freshman have an SAT score above 1550, so most likely fewer than 10 students have above a 1580, never mind a 1600.[/quote]

Or maybe they were thinking there is essentially no difference between a 1550 and a 1600 and looked at other aspects of the application.

There are only like 400 kids per year so 55 freshman is over 10%. [/quote]
