<p>i sent in my enrollment deposit this week (i'm a transfer student). oxy is pretty much the only school i got into because the UCs fell through for me due to credit and GE issues. so it's either oxy now or wait another year on the chances of UCSB or UCLA, neither of which are my dream school. i've always liked oxy. it's a school i wanted to go to after high school but i never would have gotten in. unfortunately, i didn't do an overnight stay, which i regret now. i'm worried that maybe it won't end up being the right fit for me. on the other hand, it does have a good reputation, especially in my major (English). plus it's only 2 1/2 years. does anyone have any words of encouragement for me? i really want this to work out, college has been a nightmare for me so far.</p>
<p>It will work out. It's a great school.</p>
<p>Hello violetstarlight,
how are you? From the posts of yours I read that you got in as a transfer applicant. I am also a transfer applicant. I am an international student from PCC applying for Diplomacy World Affairs, I am still waiting for an answer, I am hoping to hear from OXY a little bit early than May 15.
My Uncle graduated from Occidental as an English major and wen then to UCLA's law school. He said that oxy is just great. When he took me at night there to oxy, I was just amazed be these big trees that they had and their beautiful architecture, I just knew that oxy is the place that I wanted to be. Quality lecturing in small classes. OXY I love you</p>
