We are so over the moon. 3.97 UW at DC charter, TO, unofficially top 5% of class, 12 APs (reported 8 5s and 2 4s), good but not insane ECs with leadership experience, same with awards. Submitted 2d arts supplement but not looking to major or minor in art.


Congratulations! My kid is a freshman and loves it. Very special place.

It’s really sad that adults can’t let children just be happy and go to their college.

Applied with intent to major in IR and History. So rare for anyone at DC's school to pull a Pomona acceptance too!


Maybe she should have applied to Yale instead? That's a lot of unique accolades and firepower and effort just to go to a tiny LAC. I think she could have gone to an Ivy league school with a larger and more impressive alum pool.


+2 All of that for Pomona? Stuck in suburbia?

What does this mean? The students can leave campus. It’s not like Williams grads all reside in Williamstown

I don't think New Haven location is a selling point for Yale.

My DS is an alum. He loved it. So happy for your DC—it’s a really special place. Congratulations!


NP. DC also headed to Carleton. Thanks for sharing this! It matches the welcoming energy we felt when we visited. Congrats pp!



I'm a professor who has found every Carlton grad in my MA program delightful. I have nothing but extremely positive impressions. Congrats to both of your DCs!
