Hi, everyone!
I am a senior in high school and was curious as to if anyone could chance me for Occidental.
I have a 3.6 UW GPA and have taken my junior and senior year at the local community college
Upward trend on GPA, having mostly all A’s but brought down by math, I have a LOR from my geometry teacher speaking of my devotion despite not having gotten an A
I got a 1300 on the SAT (the new one).
My extracurriculars and essays are my strong suit.
I am the head delegate of collegiate Model United Nations and revived it when the funding was completely cut… won award for my position paper
VP of volunteer club, was communications officer last year, and have been involved since freshman year
Tennis, all four years, team captain 2 years so far (girls season has yet to start).
Barista for a year, working 25 hours+ a week
Attended a German immersion language camp for 6 years and am fluent
Worked at my Uncle’s shop in Costa Rica
In my essays, I spoke about global citizenship and empathy and how that has evolved over time. I presume it was well-written? My LORs were well done. My MUN/History professor wrote an outstanding one and I believe my Geometry teacher’s LOR was just sufficient.
I applied RD but immensely regret it and have been in contact with my regional counselor. I toured Occidental last week and fell in love with the campus and immediately felt as though I had found my niche. However, with two months left in the waiting game, I am becoming more and more nervous.
Thank you for your input!
