<p>Hey y'all,
I'm thinking of transferring to Occidental mostly because of the blend of small-class learning with a big-time city - Los Angeles. I'm currently at Tulane University (Honors College), which is a pretty solid school but I'm looking for something just different - and Occidental is it. Oxy is also one of the few schools that offer merit scholarships for transfer students, which I would definitely need.
What are my chances?</p>
<p>HS GPA: 3.2 UW, 4.0 W (Took the hardest possible courseload)
SAT: 2350 <-- Probably what saved me
High School EC's: Varsity Cross Country 2 Years, Varsity Indoor Track 2 Years, Varsity Outdoor Track 2 Years, State Champion in Cross Country Junior Year (will probably run wherever I transfer, but the team here is not letting me walk on for some reason).</p>
<p>College EC's: Amnesty International Member, Rowing Club Member, Vice President of TOPA (Political Awareness Club on campus)
College GPA (projected): 3.75
Current Majors: Biomedical Engineering and Economics (will probably switch out of engineering).
Current Classes: Cell Biology, Chemistry, Honors Classics, Microeconomics, Public Health</p>
<p>What are my chances given this information? Would I be able to net some sort of merit money as well?</p>
