<p>Stats:
* SAT: 750CR 640M 620W

* Rank: 25/500</p>

<p>Subjective:</p>

<pre><code>* Essays: The short responses were tough to fit in, but I thought they were all really good! :smiley: I might send in an additional essay.

  • Teacher Recs: I didn’t see them, but I’m guessing one was generally positive and the other was really glowing.
  • Counselor Rec: She’s a great lady but she has a lot of students so I’m not sure how I stack up against them. I know it was pretty good though.
  • Hook (if any): The swim coach e-mailed me and said if I was serious about swimming then I should give him my race times and some other info. They weren’t spectacular or anything, but they should have been good enough for them to consider me, if not get me on the team. I told him that I was serious about swimming and Oxy was one of my top choices.

<p>Other Factors: Financial aid, maybe? My family needed a substantial amount.</p>

<p>General Comments: I’m doing everything I can to get off the wait-list! Who else is sending a letter? I’m also thinking of sending in my art portfolio since I never got a chance to during the year. Would this help?</p>

<p>GL Shuffle! Really surprising that you didn’t get accepted with those stats. Anyhow, if it’s any consolation, I think Oxy takes a bunch from the waitlist and I’d definitely send a letter and anything that you think would help (ask your counselor about the art portfolio). GL again!</p>

<p>Well Oxy replied with my final decision. They said that they had already filled the class and my application was closed. Does this mean they didn’t take anyone off the wait list? =/</p>

<p>Yea, Shuffle</p>

<p>Same thing happened to me. I was wondering the same thing. It was very unclear whether or not they did accept people off of it.</p>
