My daughter received an acceptance to UCLA yesterday. She’d still prefer going to Occidental. I’m really hoping their financial aid domes through if she gets in. $68k is a lot more than we can afford and UCLA sure is competitive. What are some other schools you’ve been accepted to already?
@Michpadams That’s incredible!!! Congrats to her!
Occidental is my top choice and I am fortunate enough to have grandparents who will support my college education so if admitted I’d be able to attend Oxy regardless of the financial aid I get…although I’d prefer to not pay the full tab.
I’ve been admitted to Lewis and Clark and American University of Paris, rejected from Scripps College (the admission officer told me because I was homeschooled my education was invalid and worthless). Still waiting on Oxy, Pitzer, and American University but I can’t imagine going anywhere other than Oxy.
If I drop physics because it is hurting my gpa do you think oxy would revoke my admission at the end of the year when they see that on my transcript even if my gpa is really high and I am taking honors calculus, AP literature, AP language, honors us history, and gov?
@beltido ummm I really can’t say. Have you finished your other requirements for graduation? Like if that’s a requirement then you couldn’t drop it. But if you can, it might affect admission since your acceptance is contingent on the transcript and midyear report stated you were taking it. Only way to be sure is to email admissions (after you receive a decision). That’s my recommendation.
I don’t need it to graduate. My guidance counselor told me that it is possible for me to drop I just had to make sure it wouldn’t affect my decision. I’ll email admissions and see what they say. Thanks!!
Anyone know what time they will release decisions tomorrow? My stomach is in knots I’m so anxious!
I’m guessing between 12 and 5… I’m so anxious too, Oxy is my first choice
I keep checking my portal hoping something will update, even though I know decisions are released tomorrow.
I’m from New York so it’s going to be 3 hours later in the day for me 
@beltido I’m in DC so same. @kaiborg2000 yes!! It’s so bad. I’ve checked the portal at least 10 times today. Like once an hour desperate for something. Oxy is my first choice as well.
Does anyone know what time decisions are released?
Admitted students day is on April 8th and 15th. If you are admitted will anyone be going on either of those days?
I’m running a Model UN conference at the State Department on the 8th…but if admitted I will clear my schedule for the 15th…and beg my grandparents to fund the trip. Anyone else?
27 hours to go!!! Oxy tweeted me and included a sexy gif of Adam Levine. Sooooo 5pm Pacific, and 8pm east coast. We got this!!
HYPED LETS GO OXY
I am really excited for Oxy! It’s probably my number one fallback so I really hope I get a nice financial aid package. Does anyone know what the campus culture is like or anything?
@Islandmg if you haven’t been to campus, it is stunning! Campus culture is very open, inviting, politically active, pretty big into theater and film as well. From what I gather there is also a lot of community activism on campus as well. I am so in love with Oxy, it’s my first choice, and I really really hope I get in.
What time are decisions coming out
5pm Pacific, 8pm east coast.
less then 7 hours now…
