<p>just based on numbers what are my chances of getting into Oberlin?</p>
<p>2200 SAT (730 math, 730 reading, 740 writing)</p>
<p>3.77 unweighted gpa
4.1 weighted</p>
<p>if it makes a difference my junior year first semester gpa was a 4.0 unweighted and a 4.7 weighted and i hope to achieve the same for next semester and senior year.</p>
<p>i also have some legacy here. both of my parents and my older brother attended Oberlin </p>
<p>i know this isnt much info but i would just like a basic idea</p>
<p>also how great of a difference does it make if i apply ED I or RD?</p>
<p>I usually ignore these kinds of threads, but hey, double legacy, very good grades? If you really want to go to Oberlin, visit, explore it, and express your interest and familiarity with Oberlin in a strong, well-written Why Oberlin essay, and assuming you have strong extracurricular activities, and especially if you apply ED, you would seem to have a good chance of admission.</p>
<p>pretty high chance…but definitely visit and interview. my interview made a big difference.</p>
<p>You’re practically a shoo-in.
I have 2180 (720R, 770M, 690W), 3.7 weighted/4.42 unweighted, and my legacy is a single aunt who went there. I was admitted for the Oberlin class of 2014, although I did visit and have an interview. So many qualified applicants apply that what it really boils down to is your interest in the college. I was waitlisted at Davidson, when I had better SATs, GPA (taking the same classes) than a classmate’s grades and SATs who was admitted. She visited 3 times. I still haven’t visited, and they asked if I had on the supplement. If you visit Oberlin and Interview, you’re in.</p>
<p>The interview seems important. After my d applied she got an email from the admissions office asking why she had not interviewed. I suspect this was a way of assessing her seriousness as an applicant. She had a good reason not to have interviewed (parent and friends had attended and she felt she knew a lot about Oberlin already) and was admitted.</p>
