When speaking about “fit,” we do not mean all Pomona students are the same. Far from it. Each is different, with diverse talents and perspectives that, when gathered into a community, creates excitement, innovation and constant forward motion: when your roommate comes from a different cultural background, has different abilities than yours, and pursues a different academic path, you will have a lot to learn from each other! So we look for evidence of various qualities throughout your application, including:

• Intellectually Capable & Academically Committed. We look for evidence that applicants are academically prepared for Pomona.
• Probing Inquiry & Creative Learning. We look for evidence of intellectual curiosity, enthusiasm and/or passion for learning, as well as the creativity associated with the pursuit of knowledge.
• Commitment to Collaborative Engagement & Perspective. We hope to learn about an applicant's lived experience and their commitment to collaborate and engage in a community of varied perspectives.
• Investment in Community / Network Builder. We hope to learn more about how applicants engage with and contribute to groups and/or communities outside the classroom.
• Personal Traits. We hope to learn more about applicants’ personal or character traits to assess how they might contribute to the Pomona community.
