<p>Maybe your Why Oxy wasnt too convincing?</p>
<p>Why are people listing their SAT IIs? Oxy doesnt consider them right?</p>
<p>Sat II's are not required to apply to Occidental, but they will consider them if you supply them.</p>
<p>^ Are you sure about that? I'm screwed then.</p>
<p>you dont get screwed just bcoz of not sending your sat II hey take chill pill</p>

<p>I did send my SAT IIs. They suck. Mid 600s</p>
<p>Your SAT2s are automatically sent along with your SAT1s. You can not request that they be withheld. Some people take the ACT just to avoid sending their SAT2s.</p>
<p>Yeah I know that. But Oxy is my first choice and I dont want my SAT IIs kicking me out. My SAT I is M:790 CR:650 (I am International). Math IIC:620 and Phy:690, I just had a very bad day.</p>
