<p>I'm currently a junior and I'm looking at Occidental as one of my schools (the others being UCLA, UC Berkeley, Claremont McKenna, Pomona, USC, and Stanford). However, for Occidental I am looking for heavy merit aid, like in the order of half to full tuition covered. Do you think with my stats I would be competitive for such an award?</p>

SATII: Unknown, but I am taking US History, Math I, and I'm not sure yet the last (either Chemistry or English Language)</p>

<p>Officer for the Youth Leadership Foundation (10th, 11th, 12th grade)
Volunteer at Friendship Circle (11th, 12th)
Member of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and 1st Aid/CPR certified</p>
