<p>I honestly don't see this happening, so I don't know if I should waste my 1 early decision opportunity on this, but do I have any chance at all of getting into Occidental College if I apply for ED? otherwise, I would ED at Rollins in FL, which I will probably have a shot at.</p>
<p>GPA - 2.5 UW
SAT - 1220 math & verbal, prob. will go up on Thursday when I get my retake scores
Honors/AP - not sure what classification it would be, but I took 2 college-levels in 11th (out of 3 possible in my school) and 2 college-levels in 12th (out of only 2 possible)
EC - track for 1 year, mock trial 1 year, FBLA, Business Honor Society, volunteering at hospital currently</p>
<p>as for the essays and short-answers on the application, I'm about 1/2 way through and they're pretty compelling. I'm using my "additional comments" area to explain that I've been to 6 different high schools so it was really hard trying to adjust to a new social life all the time, let alone focusing on grades. plus it was really almost impossible for me to get any leadership positions in any school-related activities because I had to work my way from the bottom every single time</p>
<p>Occidental's average SAT is a 1280 (uh oh), hopefully I'll top that with my new SAT scores tho. I couldn't find their average GPA.</p>
<p>and hey, there's a spot on the application to attach a "personal photo"... I'm pretty much dead-set sexy so maybe if I can arouse a female or homosexual admissions person I'll have a better shot? :)</p>
