<p>I am a male looking to apply Early Decision to Oberlin College. Could anyone tell me if I have a chance there?
Here are my stats:</p>
<p>GPA 3.44 (this could potentially be higher, as my school does not weight for APs)</p>
<p>SAT 800 verbal, 710 writing, 650 math</p>
<p>AP English Composition: 5
AP U.S. History: 5
AP World History: 5
AP Physics: 3
SAT II World History: 760
SAT II US History: 760
SAT II Math IC: 600</p>
<p>I have actively participated in theater, and have gotten leads in almost every play every year. I also costarted the only student run theater troupe in my area. I am also considering applying to Bard, Kenyon, Hampshire and Wesleyan or Vassar as a stretch.</p>
<p>Make sure that your guidance counselor notes clearly and repeatedly that your school does not weight GPAs in the school report. I think you look like a solid candidate for Oberlin, Bard, and Hampshire. Wesleyan and Vassar are reaches, but with good recommendations, realistic reaches.</p>
<p>The one thing I would say is that you do not have a safety on your list. I'd suggest you check out the following schools as possible safeties: Beloit, Lawrence, Goucher, Wheaton (Mass), Earlham (doesn't have the strongest theater program, but similar intellectual feel to Oberlin).</p>
