<p>I didn't apply ED II for Oberlin, because my mother won't let me. Although if she did, I would have applied without second thoughts. So, anyone wanna try and chance me? I'll chance back, promise!</p>

<p>1500 total? I would send your act instead, then. act isn’t that bad of a score.</p>

<p>Oberlin kind of seems like a low reach.</p>

<p>Make sure to only send your ACT if you haven’t already sent the sat scores.</p>

<p>A 26 is considerably higher than a 1500.</p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>Well, I already sent in everything. When I was looking over my packet, I saw the SAT scores inside, and I asked my guidance if I should take it out. She told me it was fine to leave it in, since they’ll only look at the better one. So it got send in with the rest of the packet. A bad mistake, now that I think about it. Is there a way I can fix this? or is it doomed? Thanks.</p>

<p>I think they will look at both, but take the ACT into consideration for admission decisions, not the SAT. I would email the office of undergraduate admissions, though, and see if there is anything you could do.</p>

<p>I will, thank you for the advice!</p>
