S received his yesterday with a Trustee Scholarship. Pepperdine is not high on his list, so there may be $12K freed up for someone soon. But who knows what another visit might bring.

D received her priority mail envelope yesterday. Accepted with the Girls State Scholarship ($15K per year). She also rec'd a $3K Oxy grant along with an offer of a no-interest loan. We make too much for financial aid yet are not rich by any stretch of the imagination so this is very, very welcome. Now sending her to Oxy will cost about as much as a UC so it's a reality. She has visited Oxy three times (tour, interview and overnight visit) and she absolutely loves Oxy. She also received her UCLA acceptance yesterday too so this was a very exciting day for her.

Oxy is her first choice so she is absolutely thrilled. Her Dad and I are pretty excited too.

Ahnelk, that's totally how i was too, except I was rejected from UCLA (not that that matters now). Oxy was my first choice since the very beginning.

Also, congratulations to everyone accepted! I hope you guys go the open house to get to know the college!

I got rejected. I thought I had good chances too considering my ACT and GPA were within the range of those accepted.

This really hurts.

Ahnelk and juan06, congratulations! I am curious about the reasons that both of you have Oxy as first choice over UCLA. My D got accepted to Oxy as well, except that she had hoped for UCLA, but was sadly rejected last night. I don't know much about Oxy, never visited, so any opinion/info would be extremely helpful. Thanks! BTW we are out-of-State.

@shanaypatel I had a 4.11 gpa and a 28 on the ACT. Looks like I probably won't be getting accepted at usc either..
