[li] why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: they need to fill their quota for Asians. I'm kidding, I don't know.[/li][/ul]Other Factors: I like baseball and fly fishing. I play bassoon, guitar, and sax. I drive stick shift because it makes me feel like I'm driving rather than riding. I love eating. I get along with my parents. I'm the rare Asian male who sucks at calculus and likes english lit. Maybe Occidental accepted me because they figured anyone who's weird as I am deserved a shot.</p>
<p>Comments: I liked the bumper sticker they sent me in the acceptance letter.</p>
