<p>just got accepted via e-mail. im international</p>
<p>aw i live in socal and i didn’t get my decision today…
hopefully it will come tomorrow?

<p>aroundtheworld, yep I think you will get it tomorrow or monday at the latest!</p>
<p>I was admitted and my stats are:</p>
<p>-Frosh-Junior yr cumulative: 4.0 W GPA (3.88 UW) + 4.3 W (3.83 UW) senior year
-Took more challenging classes each year: all regular classes frosh year, 1 advanced (uw) class soph year, 2 Honors Junior yr, 3 APs senior year
-1990 SAT (when its superscored, 1920 without superscore): CR-680 M-600 W-710
- ECs: 3 yrs tennis, nhs, csf, 70 hrs community service, ambassador corps
-And I visited Oxy which I think they appreciated because they asked that on one of their short answers. </p>
<p>I also got into UCSB, UCI, University of San Diego, and San Diego State Univ and definitely haven’t made up my mind yet!! Still waiting on USC and Cornell–unlikely :(</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who got in and good luck to the rest!!!</p>
<p>EM, yea I really hope it comes today T_T
I can’t wait until Monday gahh
Did your decision come as priority mail? or just regular mail?
Congrats btw 
Good luck on the rest of your college results!</p>
<p>i’m from the east coast and i got my acceptance packet today :D!</p>
<p>Hey north_face, what are your stats like?</p>
<p>id rather not post my stats, but they are not stellar. i’ve had a rough HS experience though, and i explained myself well to Oxy. i’m thankful that they took my story into consideration, as most other schools didn’t.</p>
<p>aww north_face, I wonder why I didn’t get it yet, I live like 15 minutes ago from oxy,
well congrats! is oxy your first choice?</p>
<p>It was nice to see my son receive the big orange acceptance packet (which came in today’s mail with 2 other, small envelopes from Pitzer & Vassar). He is mostly resigned to going in-state to FSU, although my daughter is a happy soph at Oxy. I think it may be that he’s heard my husband complaining about the cost of higher education. :(</p>
<p>We will be at admitted students day on April 10. I want my son to look at Oxy through fresh eyes and not take the economic conditions too seriously.</p>
<p>Congrats to all who are admitted. Like I said, my daughter is enjoying her experience.</p>
<p>thanks! yep, oxy is my first choice. i’ll be visiting in late april. it’s costly and far from home, but i think we can make it work. gl aroundtheworld!</p>
<p>In, but it looks like the financial aid isn’t going to work even with the scholarship. Really, really sorry because it would have been such a great fit.</p>
<p>Nice admission package, though. Too bad we won’t be putting the included Occidental sticker on our car.</p>
<p>ahhhhh i just got rejected. I just knew right away when i opend my mail, cuz
i saw no BIG orange/blue packet.
I feel like i got rejected twice. cuz i applied ED and got deffered, and then got reject for RD. … 
a well!!! i should be positive!!
everyone else who got in though! CONGRATS! =)</p>
<p>Aroundtheworld - I’m sooo sorry, I’m hoping you have other excellent choices. And as mentioned before, do well wherever you go, then transfer is always a possibility!</p>
<p>I GOT ACCEPTED!
yayyaayayayaya!</p>
<p>p.s. loving the car decal!</p>
<p>accepted!!</p>
<p>oxy is my first choice, but i also got waitlisted at wesleyan and am waiting to hear from pomona. does anyone know if it’s possible to negotiate merit scholarships??</p>
<p>Accepted! I’m so happy! I’ve been getting waitlist and rejection letters all week so this was a nice change. :)</p>
<p>CONGRATS EVERYONE!!! You will love Oxy if you go there. And I still have my car decal on from last year lol. </p>
<p>I don’t think you can negotiate merit scholarships - those are pretty much set in stone. But if you got accepted by pomona and they offer you a bigger package, then perhaps you can make an appointment with them. Don’t get your hopes too high up though, even though the Financial Aid Office people are pretty much the nicest people ever.</p>
<p>I got accepted to Oxy today!!! Were merit scholarships included in anyone’s admission packet? I didn’t get one. I only received a need-based scholarship.</p>
<p>No Cal reporting in and my S received his acceptance today as well.</p>
<p>Now time to go over everything, and sort it out.</p>
<p>okay thanks!</p>
<p>yeah merit scholarships were in the big packet</p>
