im nervy give me your opinions pls

hi guys i desperately want to go to pomona (as of my visit today) and i want to ed1. my grades arent ridiculously awful but they are NOT perfect by any means and i REALLY want help SPECIFICALLY for pomona

please let me know if i have any shot at all im worried and scared and i want this so bad

for context i'm an american and other country citizen. parents are from the states but i was raised in other country(no familial ties) then decided to move back here for boarding school (insert college essay here)

  • i have a 3.61uw (ikik) but i think a 4.25w (not sure), my school doesnt publish rankings but im pretty good at school. all my courses count as honors or ap courses. ive takne 3 aps, all junior year, all self study: ap eng lit (5), apush (4), apphys1(3) and i think ill submit the first two but not sure
  • last sat i took was may and i got a 1380 on no sleep no study (740v/640m) and have since upped it(i hope)
  • im an intended theater major with extensivee theater experience including outreach programs run by my school, a self-designed independednt study whre i teavh the local 7th grade drama class with my own curriculum, adv theater work every year, every single production at my school (3 a year with leads in most) (20+ hrs of thetr a week w/leadership positions)
  • other ecs include art club student leader, admission to a selective chamber chior (wesang at carnegie hall), stuff like that
  • i also have a killer community service gig but its a secret
  • i had an intrnship soph summer at an investment relations firm running their social media and ai-ing their workspace
  • strongest subject is english and (you guessed it) theater studies (wow), but on my transcript its math and science i think
  • my essays, not to toot my own horn here, are pretty darn good
  • my reccomendations will be killer baniller AND one of thems from a pomona alumni but idk if they care

im also better at wrting than this 1am post lets on

unsure where to go from here/what i can do to make my app stronger, please comment thoughts and prayers
