<p>Hey! Although you didn't list your GPA, your stats sound pretty much like mine....except, well better, haha. I don't think they will mind the lack of work, any work at all will look good. And your awards sound AWESOME (I've always wanted to win some kind of big math competition). Oxy generally likes International students, and I'm not sure about how much financial aid you will get, but from what I've heard from others they are quite generous. You should definitely apply, I think you'll get in!</p>
