<p>Dont forget Pitzer is testing optional. But so far you seem like you would be competitive. Make sure you come visit sometime and have an interview.</p>

<p>Besides my tests scores (which is optional) what doesn't look as good right now?</p>

4

<p>Nothing really. Because they are small and have a small entering class, they are always looking at showcased interest in the school. Did you visit campus? Did you have an interview? Did you meet with a rep at your school? These factors come into play.</p>

<p>^what do you mean?? How could I show that I'm really interested in the school??</p>

<p>What you can do to show interest is get in front of admissions people as often as possible. At a minimum, have a personal interview, preferably at Pitzer itself. Also, make sure you know when admissions people are coming to your school or to a town near you, and then go the event. Make sure they know that you attended. Fill out a card that says you were there and that you want them to send you information. The admissions people keep track of this stuff because it exhibits interest, and they would rather admit someone who actually wants to attend the school rather than someone who is sending in an application just because the school is a "match" or a "safety."</p>
