3 posts were merged into an existing topic: Occidental College Early Decision for Fall 2024 Admission

When do they release RD? The admissions page says April 1 but last year they released on March 15.

Does anyone know when RD decisions are released?

This is the info I found online about the last three years, so there’s not a clear pattern.

Does anyone have any new info from Oxy’s admissions office?

I emailed end of Feb, and they said around the 20th of march, but nothing new from that end.

Just received email decisions are tomorrow at 5pm!

Did anyone else get the “The wait is almost over!” email? I looked back on previous threads and it seems like it’s kind of a ‘likely’ type message. Oxy is super high on my list so I hope this is a good sign!

My son received it. Oxy is high on his list, too; he loved the campus when he did the tour.

Yes! the email said 3/20 at 5pm PDT.

Yes! Son received it as well!! We toured and he loved Oxy!

This is wishful thinking, but any reason why they would ask to verify mailing information the day before decisions if they weren’t considering applicants? Maybe I’m thinking too much into it! haha good luck everyone! :smile:

Can anyone else reply to the admitted students decision form? I can - not sure if that’s a good sign or if it works for everyone??

Google: “Complete the Admitted Student Reply Form Occidental” then click on new students webpage and then “complete the admitted student reply form.”

Are you sure? I got this as well and really want to get in. Excited for 5pm!

Yep! I can. Hopefully that’s a good sign. Had my name and everything.

Me too. Hope it’s a good sign!!

Was there an option to say no for you guys? Mine only let me say yes I will be attending

I only have yes as well, might be a glitch that they’re fixing
