@fireworks… I definitely cried all day too boooooo schools(AKA occidental) that claim to look at the individual throughout the application process… when all they really care about is the SAT score… Hah but actually… I worked my tail off the past two years- working, paying my way through school and completeing the honors program with one of the highest gpa’s in my school. Plus I flew all the way down there for an interview and all they can send me in return is a measly paragraph that says… Rejected. Without reason. Awesome.

I mean, as excited as I was to go there… if that’s all they can give in return to a prospective student that they knew had given as much effort into acomplishing well above the standards they called for- occidental it’s not the school for me… I mean I know I’m bitter, but honestly, when the focus of a schools admissions falls upon on how well a student can take a test or how the school can better their athletic programs… I don’t feel like it would be the academically challenging and diverse school I was looking for… So… Good luck to the rest of you, I have a few friends that attend and they love it so I’m sure you will enjoy it too. But if you’re looking for financial aid… I hope the althetic programs don’t hijack it by the time you are officially enrolled.

Hah
