I’m from WA! Did a really great job of explaining what Pomona looks for and they a truly holistic school! How does Pomona look at having to take Ps in a few classes and having some withdrawals (Ws)? I have extenuating health circumstances and am getting treatment at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
It varies from student to student. As long as your application shows many sides of yourself (including your skills, values, qualities, and interests), it may not be a big deal to the admissions officers that your health issues affected your grades. Hope this helps!
Thank you for hosting such a great helpful workshop. A lot of these questions are so important and hit right in the sweet spot
Glad it was helpful!
