What is the average grade point average for admitted students to Pomona?
Pomona does not recalculate an average grade point average (GPA) for admitted students as high schools have a variety of GPA scales and grading policies. Thus, Pomona does not expect a minimum GPA. Instead, the Admissions Committee seeks candidates who challenge themselves as much as possible in their high schools and perform at a high level, relative to peers at their school. Typically, about 90% of admitted students rank in the top 10% of their graduating high school class. If a student attends a high school that does not rank, this will not hurt a students chances for admissions–admissions officers work hard to become familiar with the high schools from which students are applying and understand student performance at each school.
