<p>woo hoo i got in. </p>
<p>and apparently i get money about 23,000. YAY!</p>
<p>my mistake it's 15000 in oxy scholarships and the rest is from loans.</p>
<p>are you able to check it online or something? nothing in the mail from oxy today. =( no mail sunday, so that means i'll have to wait until at least monday if it's not online.</p>
<p>oops.. silly me, congratulations by the way! ^_^</p>
<p>hey.. wat were ur stats like?? i wonder if i got in</p>
<p>is that where u check to see if u got in??</p>
<p>I got my acceptance in the mail, either thursday or friday (i wasn't home and my mum gave it to me on friday). Oh and thanx for the congrats swtvtgyl. Here are my stats, um i might have forgotten something:</p>
<p>funny in my essay about why oxy i wrote that I didn't really know about it before i went there to vivot like one month before i applied. The other had to do wit me going to cornell and becoming more open (i used to be painfully shy).</p>

<p>simplyloved, I got in today with pretty much the same exact fin. aid package. $15,500 in grants, 1400 in work study, and like another 5,000 in loans. I still need more money, though. friggin expensive.</p>
<p>My stats:
1280 SAT
GPA: 3.6uw/3.8w
no sat 2
I think I pretty much got in because I'm a swimmer. The school was a bit of a reach for me.</p>
<p>does oxy give everyone merit scholarships?
cus i didnt ask for fin aid and i got a director's scholarship</p>
<p>you're automatically considered for fin aid including merit and need based when you apply and fill out fafsa and css, etc.</p>
<p>i still havent gotten my letter.. hmm.</p>
<p>i ddint request aid.. i didnt fill out fafsa.. so thats why i was wondering why i got it..</p>
<p>sdskyle hahah great to find someone on cc that doesn't have a near 1600 on the sat's, i was beginning to feel alone.</p>
<p>Happy you got in, are you going?</p>
<p>And yeah i was like YAY!! i got a lot of money, boo it still costs a bajillion dollars.</p>
<p>are the acceptances being sent by express mail or email ??</p>
<p>hm. i didn't get any emails. regular blue envelope came today.</p>
<p>swtvtgyrl did u get in?</p>
<p>they did send out an email.. i posted the email up in the decisions thread.
the acceptances were fedexed and got here before the email did.</p>
<p>yea i did, but i never got an email lol. maybe i had a typo when i gave them my email. i don't think my letter was fedexed either.. it came in the oxy envelope with regular postage, and i didn't even get it until yesterday (tuesday) .. haha, whatever, at least i got it, right?</p>
<p>yep
the only reason i got the email and had the mail fedexed and heard so early was because i'm international.
i got it on tuesday! only a couple of days after they sent it.. but it was fedex thats why it was fast</p>
