Transfer Possibility?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Occidental College

<p>Could a current Occidental student take the time to "chance" me please?</p>

<p>Whittier College (Private, not Rio Hondo Community College)
Freshman
4.0 GPA fall semester (Dean's list)
Art History and French Language double major (taking higher level French courses as a freshman)
Photography Editor for the school's weekly newspaper
French Tutor</p>

<p>My high school record was very mediocre. I made the unfortunate choice to not take any AP or honors courses, even though I knew I could've excelled in them. I graduated high school with a 3.87 GPA, still reaching in the top 7% of my class at a large public school.</p>

<p>My extra activities during high school would be both advanced concert band and marching band for 3 years, cross country for one season, and a lot of volunteer hours with my church.</p>

<p>I want a second chance at Oxy because I need to be in a more academically focused campus.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Uhh... with those stats you can probably get into a college better than Occidental. Are you kidding me 4.0? Might as well try Stanford while you're at it. </p>

<p>Also that High School GPA... is not bad at all. Oxy is pretty much a match or safety for you. If it makes you feel any better I'm applying with a 2.8 gpa :P</p>

<p>But yea, they're probably gonna accept you once they look at that GPA, unless you decide to insult them in your short answer essays.</p>

<p>You have a definite shot - there are always people who transfer in their sophomore year</p>
