Admission to Pomona is very competitive with an acceptance rate of 10%. Like Harvey Mudd Pomona is more interested in the students motivation and intellectual aspirations rather than test scores or grades.

What is an issue that you think has two or more sides and what views would be important to capture in order to understand the nuances of the debate? Why do you think it would be important for the Pomona student body to be exposed to this debate?
- Tell us about a subject that you couldn't stop exploring, a book you couldn't put down, or a Wikipedia rabbit hole you dove into. Why did it fascinate you?
- Pomona has a long history of bringing together students of diverse backgrounds who want to push intellectual limits and who want to engage in a community that values difference.
