Pomona College is a proud member of the Coalition for College, along with more than 150 of America’s leading colleges and universities. The Coalition offers a set of free college planning tools to help students learn about, prepare for, and apply to college. Applicants to Pomona may use either the Coalition Application, the Common Application, or the QuestBridge application, with no preference given in the admissions process based on application type.
Because the life of a great liberal arts college is created in large part by the students who live and learn there, we work to enroll those who will both contribute to and benefit from the extraordinary opportunities here.
First-Year Admissions
If you're a senior in high school or applying with less than one year's worth of college credit, you will be a first-year applicant.
Transfer Admissions
If you've completed at least one year's worth of college credit by the time of your potential enrollment at Pomona, you will be a transfer applicant.
For Undocumented and DACA Students
We're interested in the best students, regardless of citizenship status. In both the admissions and financial aid processes, undocumented and DACAmented students are treated the same as any graduate of a U.S. high school.
