My portal just updated, I got in!
Good for you, Ruby! Do you mind telling me what school you are transferring from?
I went to Oberlin College last fall but now I go to Santa Monica College in LA
@rubbynugget, congrats! I actually just got in too, and I was wondering what made you decide to leave Oberlin. I am actually deciding between Oberlin and Oxy, and honestly, I’m really conflicted.
Interesting! I am searching for anyone who has been accepted as a transfer to Oxy from a community college directly. I currently go to PCC and this is my second time applying to Oxy. I have excruciatingly-close-to-perfect grades and completed the PCC honors program, which is specifically supposed to give me priority at Oxy. I’d love to hear from anyone who did get into Oxy from a two year college. I badly want to go to Oxy – I feel it is culturally a great fit for me and they have a special undergrad program that I am super interested in.
@transferinneedofadvice123 oberlin is a fantastic school, the academics are super good. the small town is so cute. i just missed the big city and the small town thing wasn’t for me. but it’s a great school, another thing to think about is like oberlin is really struggling financially and the classes rnt as interesting or easy to get into as oxy. but oberlin really was great just wasn’t a good fit for ME. :))
@kpwalther i actually got in as a senior in high school so i suspect that’s what i got in
Oh I see! That’s interesting too. I’m sure that you deserve to be there based on your most recent academic performance as well! Congratulations!
Who’s staying on the waitlist?
I got waitlisted to here and Swarthmore, and I’m staying on the waitlist, hoping to get in.
I’m staying too. Waitlisted here and Pitzer.
Got in a few days ago. Praying they give me good aid.
Does anyone know when Oxy will close the class and not take anyone else from the waitlist?
If you’re on the waitlist are we supposed to email/call them or anything to check in or is that like too stalkery?
I don’t think we need to check in, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt.
Has anyone been accepted from the wait list yet?
@breadstuffs I have not
Has anyone from the waitlist heard yet? I was told last week that we would hear “by this week” but at 5:00 on a Friday that isn’t looking so good.
I called, and one of the admissions staff told me to give them until July 20 to make their decisions regarding the waitlist. I guess they’ve been having some kind of delays. Maybe they don’t know how many transfer students have committed to them yet.
I won’t be holding my breath for the 20th though, I feel like we won’t know until August. Good luck guys!
