<p>I’m not sure if they rank the waitlist…they didn’t say. And yes I do…I’m pretty sure they mailed it out yesterday so you should get it Monday.</p>
<p>Okay, ughhhh thank you</p>
<p>Oh no 
do you think all they are sending out now are waitlists? since one person a LOOONNNGGG time ago got an acceptance and a couple days ago someone was rejected… and now someone got waitlisted… I feel like they might be sending decisions out in stages :/</p>
<p>I have no idea… UGHHHH this wait is really starting to drive me crazy. I cant stop thinking about what could be going on with my application… oh my. How is it that there are so few of us that care so much?! I mean… shouldn’t there be 300-400 other prospective transfer students out there?</p>
<p>Oxy said that there were 450 applicants this time and only 50 spots. Tough crowd.</p>
<p>OH MY GOODNESS. 450?!?!? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?!</p>
<p>People in the 2010 threads call it the “Obama bump.” Oxy is a good school and on top of Obama having gone there for two years it has become very popular. I think because of the financial crisis people are choosing to transfer into schools more and more.</p>
<p>u guys its ok! there’s still hope/thousands of other colleges that want u! </p>
<p>i got the acceptance letter today and i hope the best to all of u on the waitlist/waiting to still hear! keep on fighting!</p>
<p>Yeah… Occidental does have a pretty incredible mission statement as well. Ugh, I sure hope they have room for all of us. </p>
<p>Can I ask what the wait-list letter said? Did it hint at anything?</p>
<p>The letter indicated they only expect 15 to stay on it so I’m guessing that they didn’t put too many on the waitlist in comparison to the 450 that applied. </p>
<p>@tperrier Will you be going to oxy next year then?</p>
<p>tperrier–
Congratulations!!! That’s awesome!!</p>
<p>You didn’t get an email ever? When did they send the letter?</p>
<p>maybe! but i’m not sure yet. probably! haha</p>

<p>@tperrier
Thank you! and congrats again!</p>
<p>@fireworks1991
No problem! I just hope it all works out! Do you live in California? and you’ve yet to hear anything back either?</p>
<p>I left my mailing address since I’m an International and I’m spending summer break back home. Either way, I can feel the rejection in the air lol even though till the 13th I haven’t heard anything back from them. Expecting the worst is my new tactic.</p>
<p>and congratz tperrier ! I’m hoping you’re in CA</p>
<p>@simply123
No, I don’t live in California and I haven’t heard anything since the email about the missing docs.
This has been an amazing thread! Thank you guys for being there to support and comfort each other through this stessful process. Whatever happens I wish everyone the best of luck in life!</p>
<p>dangggg. That’s quite a number.
edit: that was supposed to be quoting the 50/450 statistic. No idea why it didn’t work.</p>
<p>@fireworks, yes!! It has been such a great thread!!! I live in washington so I feel like my letter, whatever it may say… Should be here on Monday? Eeeeeee I’m so excited/worried/scared to get it though haha I really hope I am accepted!! I also hope everybody in this thread gets accepted, so we can have instant friends by the time we get there!! Haha I’m getting a little too hopeful and ahead of myself though, when I haven’t a clue to my decision!!</p>
