This was a real dark horse school for her, but she had a fantastic alumni interview and has loved every interaction with students/admissions. Everyone seems to love the school. LA also a big plus!

We toured Occidental in June (along with some other privates and the UCs) and it is the school that got my son excited for college. Wonderful campus tour, great dorms and food, exciting academics.

Hi Zachary, Congratulations! Oxy is a fantastic college. Here’s a link to all the merit scholarships Oxy offers: https://www.oxy.edu/sites/default/files/meritscholarships21-22.pdf
If you have any questions about merit scholarships or financial aid, I’d suggest reaching out to the school directly. They’re super nice and would be happy to hear from you.

Congrats to those who got accepted. D got waitlisted. What are the real chances of getting in? She got acceptance from AU which is in DC & Dickinson College. More than her, we are bummed about the WL.

AU & Dickinson are great options! According to this, Oxy offers acceptances to around 20% of their waitlist. If your daughter wants to pursue it, she might want to reach out to her high school college counselor to ask for advice on next steps and to ask them to advocate for her to her Oxy admissions officer. Also of course follow whatever instructions Oxy provides. Good luck!
