<p>I have a 3.0 GPA (unweighted) and a 1200 SAT score (the old SAt). I really extremely want to go to Occidental, and I am applying early action and everything. Do you guys know if I have even a chance of getting in? Because I do know that it is getting extremely competitive...</p>
<p>You have a chance, because a GPA and an SAT don't mean much overall. Did you take the hardest possible courses available? Are your essays solid, original, and well-written? Are your reqs? Are you going to do the best possible job of filling out the application? Did you have some difficult circumstance that potentially caused you to have a lower GPA or SAT score than you would without? Are your SAT II scores good?</p>
<p>Do you realize that most people don't go to their first, and probably even second choice school?</p>
<p>If you get in, congratulations. If you do not, you will be alright.</p>
