Hey all! I think this is an unusual sort of post on CC, but I made it to give an idea of the eclectic college decisions which my classmates make. I compiled this list after talking extensively with dozens of friends and classmates and a handful of alumni. These are the most common decisions in which the prospective student has narrowed it down between Oxy and _____. Oxy was chosen for better financial aid, greater opportunities, better community, stronger academics, and/or general unpretentiousness. Please feel free to ask me about any of these schools
