International Students & Parents

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I am a junior at Occidental College. I grew up in Hong Kong my whole life and only started college in the United States. Coming from 15 hours away, I was a little afraid about adapting to the culture. However, I know I made the right decision coming to the United States. I have loved each and every moment and made great friends that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Have no doubt about it: Oxy and Los Angeles always have a surprise in store. </p>

<p>So I am here to answer any question you have regarding Oxy. Please feel free to leave to ask anything and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.</p>

<p>Hi, thank you for offering to answer questions :slight_smile:
I am an international student also wishing to apply to Oxy. I was wondering what SAT scores you got and other accomplisments that you think got you into oxy… Also, did you get any financial aid- do you think Oxy is good at international financial aid? I’d love to attend Oxy but i don’t know if i’d be able to afford it or if my SAT scores are good enough… I got combined 1970 (CR 700 M 590 W 680)… is that good enough? If you can answer any of my questions it would be much appreciated. :)</p>

<p>Hi, sorry it took me so long to reply. Your SAT scores look great and Oxy really looks at all factors of a student before making a decision. Oxy provides financial aid to very small group of international students however, this should not deter you from applying to Oxy. Please let me know if you have any more questions.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your reply! I will be applying to Oxy no matter what- might as well try for what you want, i say. Again, Thanks so much for the reply :slight_smile: Hope your having a great time over at Oxy.</p>
