Can anyone please chance me for
occidental college?
Gpa: 3.98/4.39
Act: 27
Sat: 1770
Extracurriculars: marching band and
jazz band, founder of feminist club,
intern at library, volunteer at a local
middle school.
I’m currently on a gap year, not sure if that affects my chances.
Also, I’m a CA resident applying for
the urban and environmental policy
program.
Thanks!
Could you retake the SAT? I’m not an expert, just another kid looking at applying to Oxy (also for the UEP major!), but I’d say you have a good chance of admission. If I were you, I’d definitely find a good justification for your gap year and a couple solid stories about what you’ve gotten out of it!
Thanks so much! I’ve already retaken the sat twice and I actually did worse the second time. I’m not a fantastic standardized test taker, but I’m hoping they can look past that. And good luck as well!
Funny, I am also applying to Oxy and I am the founder of feminist club at my high school! Hopefully we both get accepted 
I think you may have a fairly strong chance though I do agree with the previous commenter.
Oh, wow. Two founders of high school feminist clubs hoping to go to Oxy?? yay, more entitled privileged youth seeking grievances to support a cause that’s so been there and done that. I guess every LAC has to have its share of “victims” with major chips on their shoulders.
I don’t understand why you think they are entitled privileged kids.
