<p>Hi ctordsen14 - While not necessarily a great help in this situation, I’m directing you to this Oberlin blog post about chancing: [Oberlin</a> Blogs | Blog Entry: “What are my chances?”](<a href=“http://blogs.oberlin.edu/applying/selection_process/what_are_my_cha.shtml]Oberlin”>http://blogs.oberlin.edu/applying/selection_process/what_are_my_cha.shtml)</p>

<p>If you get a higher ACT score it is a match, with a low ACT score (such as that 24) it is a reach.</p>

<p>I live 30 minute from Oberlin. My friend’s mom is a prof there. Great liberal arts school. That GSA sure wont hurt, haha. With a 24 ACT it’s a reach. If you can get the ACT to a 29, I got mine up 5 points, so no worries, it’s a match. Best of luck.
