Oxy RD Discussion 2015

<p>I’m so glad it’s such a nice day. I’m just leaving the beach. Claps for field trips.</p>

<p>hehe…In our country the weather forecast never works out right…
I know there is difference in perspective…
but I would be new to the college, to the country if I get accepted at Oxy, and things such as social equality and norms really does matter for an international, won’t it?</p>

<p>Yes it does. But I really think that if you aren’t making friends at Oxy, it’s not because you’re a minority. 40% of students define themselves as minorities, and you can’t get much better then that. My tour guide, and a recent grad I talked to, said that this was her favorite part of Oxy. When I was there today I saw groups of African American, Asian, and Caucasian students eating together.</p>

<p>awesome news…the last one :D</p>

<p>The enthusiasm you all have for the school is contagious–really looking forward to visiting. If the current study body is as passionate and articulate as these applicants and shares their school spirit, it would be a great place to spend four years. Best of luck to all!</p>

<p>Thank you :slight_smile: that’s very nice of you to say!
It feels weird to be back in Chicago…it’s too cold!</p>

<p>Whatever it maybe, my passion for oxy still retains :)</p>

<p>And that’s the way it should be. :slight_smile: And if we all end up at Oxy, we’ll be able to make a difference and have the great experience we should have in college.</p>

<p>longest 3 weeks ever. ugh. anyone apply anywhere else as a back up???</p>

<p>Yeah, like 10 places. :P</p>

<p>I too have 10 more colleges or so :D</p>

<p>is oxy going to release all acceptances/rejections on march 31 via e-mail?</p>

<p>Yeah I applied to 9 other LACs and 1 mid sized university. I am not sure, but I think in the past it has only been snail mail. And I live all the way in Chicago…wonderful.</p>

<p>Snail mail on March 24.</p>

<p>So I’ll probably get it about April 1…oh well…hopefully it’s worth the wait for all of us!! :)</p>

<p>Did anyone else get an email from Oxy inviting “competitive applicants” to take part in the all-expense-paid Multicultural Visit Program? Just got one today and I’m so excited!</p>

<p>Sent from my SPH-D700 using CC App</p>

<p>No, but I’m not a competitive applicant.</p>

<p>No because I’m Caucasian, which is not multicultural. I hope I’m competitive.<br>
Have fun!!</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>OMG - I just got that email! Is that a good sign as far as admission goes?! I’m guessing yes - and I am SO excited!</p>
