College Running

9 years ago 09/06/2014 2:30pm EDT

So I just got a yes on my Early Read for Pomona College to run for coach Boston. This is basically a guaranteed yes unless I really really screw something up. As an intended Economics major, my question is not whether I should go to Pomona or not, because I'm going to. It's one of the best schools in the country, why would I not take the opportunity presented to me? My question is - how is it to run there? Atmosphere, team dynamic, facilities, coaches etc.. I have visited and met Boston and Neely, but first impressions can be deceiving.

Notes: GPA: 4.76

SAT: 2300 (730, 770, 800)

Triple jump, high jump.

I can't say much for their jumping program but they have a pretty decent track team, especially considering they are D3. You should have a good time there and their academics are top-notch and I know many people who have gone there and became successful (in terms of $$). If I were to compete D3 with athletics AND academics in mind, Pomona would be at the top of my list.

Why don't you just contact Coach Boston and ask him to get you in touch with some current team members to answer your questions? Since you've already decided to commit to the school, it's not like you have to worry about them lying to you. From what I've seen and heard, the team is pretty close-knit and has a lot of fun, but you're going to get a lot better answers from direct communication with current team members than by soliciting gossip from an anonymous message board.
