Hey,
I saw there wasn’t a thread for this year transfer applicants to Oxy so I thought I’d make one. If you applied say hi and hopefully we can relay some information to each other!
Ok, I’ll bite.
Oxy is the only reach school I applied to because I’m not exactly fond of having my hopes and self-confidence dashed–but I wanted to take a chance anyway. The other schools I applied to were local CSUs, so if I’m not accepted, I’ll be headed there! 
But hello!
@CurrerBell17
That’s cool! You never know, anything is possible!!!
Just out of curiosity why did you decide to apply to Occidental?
-Really close to where I currently live
-Small class sizes
-Really integrated into the community, very community-oriented students. I liked that part
Hey! I applied as a Fall 2015 transfer too. Any idea as to when we’ll hear back?
Last year I believe that it took them 6 weeks to get back after the deadline… However, last year’s deadline for the application was March 15th, so I’m not sure if they will get back around the same time or take 6 weeks again… I’m hoping it isn’t the latter!
Has anyone gotten any news yet?
I emailed them, they said that there is no official decision date but most likely mid may.
Wait, so no one has heard? College board said May 1st so the “mid may” thing is frustrating haha.
No, they just started looking at the transfer apps. Should hear back mid May
Do you guys think that needing financial aid vs. not needing financial aid would have a substantial impact on your chances of being accepted? I believe that Oxy is need aware, but I guess I’m wondering if it makes a difference is how they look at your application.
I just got rejected so they are definitely sending decisions out. It stings a little but what can ya do? Good luck to everyone else, I hope you all get good news!
Sorry to hear that!
I don’t think financial aid plays a big role in their decision.
My daughter was accepted yesterday…with a very strong aid package Waiting to hear from some other schools, but Oxy is def a strong possibility. Applied with a very strong GPA from a good east coast state U. High scores, decent, but not amazing HS GPA. From posts from former years it looks like they offer admission over a couple of weeks, so those who have not yet heard, don’t despair.
Hi guys, I too applied for transfer to Oxy. Still waiting on news. Has anyone heard anything today? I’d love to know before the weekend haha
Hey I applied also! So nervous to see what happens. I’m happy at my school now but I love the push Oxy has on students to work hard. I’m hoping for the best for all of you!
Hey everyone! I’m still waiting to hear back from Oxy and am getting a little antsy! Did they send out decisions by mail or was it just an email redirecting you to their application portal? I’m just wondering which one I should be watching.
I’m still waiting too. I noticed in past years that people found out around the 21st so hopefully sometime this week we’ll know!
