Occidental College Regular Decision Fall 2022 Admission

Hey! Let’s start this thread! Anyone have any guess when decisions will come out, other than “late March”?

Based on last year I’m guessing 3/24, but there is a Reddit thread with dates for this year that says 4/1

Last year it came out the 25th!

CMC, which is just ~50km away (but over an hour away in Los Angeles traffic), has emailed applicants stating decisions will come out on 3/24 at 5pm Pacific Time. Given last year Oxy and CMC had the same decision dates, and given their focus, size, and location generate some overlap in the applicant pool, my wager is Oxy will post on the same day again.

Ah! Do all the Claremont Colleges generally come out on the same day? We didn’t apply to any of them, just curious. I’m so nervous about this decision!

The Claremont Colleges do not all release at the same time. They are spread over the last two week of March.

We are nervous too, but thankfully we just noticed today started the second week of March. That means there is hardly any time left to fret!

Good luck!!!

Any international students?

My daughter is waiting to hear from Occidental too. She heard from Pitzer (one of the Claremont colleges) on 3/18. So hopefully Oxy decisions come out this week!

Pitzer and Oxy are my kid’s top two picks. I know Oxy said by April 1 but I hope it’s this week!

Just received email.
3/24 5pm Pacific Time it will be!
(Hopefully these new-found predictive powers are useful for something else.)

That has to be a great feeling, especially if D already has other ones that would be good choices!

Same here for my son. We are excited for the next phase but also have to admit it has been a fun and interesting process (even with the rejections that came with it). What are we gonna do with our spare time now?

Yes, she does. But she still needs to visit a few!

Same here for my son and tbh I don’t think Oxy is going to be in the running but who knows. He wasn’t able to tour it before applying and is prioritizing a couple of other schools for tours now.

Same! I jokingly said to my D that I hope she’s rejected so we don’t have to stress about finding time to tour!

Today, right? Fingers crossed for D22 and everyone! I have a soft spot for this school and the Campaign Semester would be a dream come true for my daughter.
