<p>Hi! I also applied to OXY as a transfer for the fall 2011 semester. I’m desperately waiting to hear back.</p>
<p>OMG i really want to hear back soon too >< this wait is killing me.
I was looking back at i think it was 2009’s thread for transferrs to Oxy and noone posted that they had been accepted until the 16TH!!! ugh >< i cant wait that looooonnnnggggggggg!!!</p>
<p>@PinkiePie</p>
<p>Ya!!! I find myself looking back at previous threads seeing how many got rejected and accepted and their stats. Occidental is definitely not an easy school to get into :(</p>
<p>Didn’t receive anything in the mail today… </p>
<p>I keep looking at all of the previous years posts too! I go on a roller coaster of being cautiously optimistic to extremely pessimistic. I don’t even know what to do with myself, this wait is talking a serious toll on my mental health hahah… kidding… sorta… hah</p>
<p>@simply123 I’m exactly the same way!! At one point im feeling good about the application and getting in but then I’m super nervous, anxious, and worried that I won’t. This is NOT healthy!!</p>
<p>yes yes yes! haha Exactly what I’m talking about!! It feels good to chat about it with people going through the same ordeal though, I think I probably would have exploded if I didn’t have this thread to vent on! Also, it’s nice to know that nobody else has received their letters… otherwise I would be flipping out like a total lunatic until I finally received mine. I’m usually very patient, especially in situations like this, so this is a very odd instance for me. I would love to be a student at Occidental… maybe a little too much for someone who as only just applied haha… </p>
<p>It’s like being on a first date… and naming all of the children you will have together before finding out whether or not your date is even interested in you… haha</p>
<p>or “don’t put your eggs(chicks?) all in one basket” … Whoops, already did. hah</p>
<p>@simply123</p>
<p>HAHA yes. If i didn’t know that other people haven’t received anything yet either I would be flipping a $h!t because i think Oxy is the only school for me. I’ve known ever since I first heard of it lol. I was so excited to attend that I turned my application in a month early!!! and that is like SUPER amazing for me since I am probably the biggest procrastinator ever haha.</p>
<p>Exactly, but whats wrong with putting all your eggs in one basket? If its the school for you then theres nothing wrong with giving it your all for it 
I wish the best of luck for everyone who applied and I ultimately believe that eventually we’ll all find a school we’re happy to be at. I’m really hoping that if I don’t get accepted theres a valid reason for why they didn’t want to. No one school is for everyone…which is a good thing!</p>
<p>Yeah… I believe that if I don’t get in, there’s a reason. But, I literally did put all of my eggs into one basket and if I’m not accepted to Occidental- I will be doing nothing at all for the next year. Well, at least until next spring quarter starts up. I feel like the whole next year of my life is in limbo until I know… haha… but your optimism is encouraging, thank you!</p>
<p>I got an acceptance email today! I’m not sure what to think of it, because when I called them they said they wouldn’t be sending acceptances through email. For those of you worrying, they also said that decisions letters would be sent through the summer, so you’ve all got plenty of time! :)</p>
<p>I sort of have a back up plan… I also applied to USC… but my application was like a month late lol and if i dont get into either then i have to stay at my current school :/</p>
<p>itspop -</p>
<p>They sent it to you via e-mail? Can I ask what it said?</p>
<p>@itspop: I’d like to know that as well. Summer is a bit late to release decisions…</p>
<p>Summer does sound late… You almost gve me a panic attack!!! haha</p>
<p>But I have a few friends that go to Occidental and they come home this weekend after their finals, so ‘summer’ is next week. Where as for me… It’s in a few months hah</p>
<p>Good point. I forgot summer for a lot of students starts next week. Pray that it’s not our summer, aka June haha.</p>
<p>And thanks to the prospective transfers replying/viewing this post! Let’s keep each other updated! :)</p>
<p>Summer is really late, yeah. I guess they had a slow start.</p>
<p>the thing is, I’m not sure if everyone’s going to get an email, since when I called and asked they specifically said no one would be notified by email… do you guys want a summary or a copy-pasted email?</p>
<p>As clarification, they didn’t tell me about when they were mailing decisions in the email I got, I called and asked a few days ago. The stuff in the email’s just your general “Thanks for applying, we’re glad you’re interested” letter.</p>
<p>@itspop: Yeah, I sent them an email about a week ago inquiring about decisions and they never replied. I just needed to know when they were going to send out the letters because I have 15 days to give a commitment to my backup school, and if it gets to a certain point I can’t really take the risk with Oxy, as much as I want to go.</p>
<p>In any case, congratulations on your acceptance! That’s fantastic news!</p>
<p>Thanks, and best of luck to you! Maybe you can call and explain that you can’t wait for your decision in the mail and see if they can check for you then and there.</p>
<p>Ooo, yes copy and paste message or private message? If it’s not too much trouble? You don’t need to include your name or any of that stuff</p>
<p>@itspop! yes! please copy and paste or private msg it! that would be awesome! congrats!</p>
