[</em>] Major strength/weakness: Bad math and science scores all through junior year and senior year (just really suck at both). Maybe being Asian was a weakness, because most schools get a lot of those come application time. :P
Strength: good extracurriculars: editor of school newspaper, editor of school magazine, two instruments (piano/violin), swimming, volunteer work, academic team (nerdy I know), multi-cultural club, Amnesty International, German club, church pianist.
[li] Why you think you were accepted/rejected/waitlisted: I suck at math and science. </p>[/li]
<p>[/ul]Other Factors: Dunno. Oxy was difficult to get into this year. Maybe I'm not what they were looking for. I did do an interview though. Guess it wasn't enough.</p>
<p>Anyway, I hear if I'm off waitlist in a few weeks, or if I'll just get rejected. :(</p>
<p>Congrats to those who were accepted and enrolling, best wishes to those who are also on waitlist, and also best wishes to those who are to look elsewhere for their college choice!</p>

Admissions and Financial Aid
This year we received more than 5,000 applications for a first-year class of approximately 430 students.
Admission is highly selective; about 40% of applicants were admitted to the College.
The median SAT score for admitted students is 1340.
About three-quarters of our students receive financial aid.
Need-based aid and merit scholarship programs can make our costs comparable to public universities.
We meet all of demonstrated financial need.</p>
