<p>I’m currently a junior and I’m looking at Occidental as one of my schools (the others being UCLA, UC Berkeley, Claremont McKenna, Pomona, USC, and Stanford). However, for Occidental I am looking for heavy merit aid, like in the order of half to full tuition covered. Do you think with my stats I would be competitive for such an award?</p>

SATII: Unknown, but I am taking US History, Math I, and I’m not sure yet the last (either Chemistry or English Language)</p>

<p>Officer for the Youth Leadership Foundation (10th, 11th, 12th grade)
Volunteer at Friendship Circle (11th, 12th)
Member of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and 1st Aid/CPR certified</p>
<p>APs: will be 11 by next year–AP European History, AP US History, 11AP English, AP Chemistry (sucks), AP Psychology, AP Statistics, AP Computer Science, AP Physics, 12AP English, AP Human Geography, AP US Government/Honors Economics</p>
<p>Awards:
