<p>Hmm....i don't think your chances will be helped by the fact that your post is all about Vanderbilt....</p>

3

<p>OH MY GOODNESS! I didn't edit it right I'm so embarrassed :0</p>

4

<p>copy/pasting? niiice.....just make sure when you apply, you write a "why Oberlin" essay, not a "why Vanderbuilt" one.</p>

5

<p>Oh my god, seriously you guys, I'm really embarrassed at this. I don't know how to edit it though! And retyping this whole thing takes a long time!</p>

6

<p>Regardless of the mistake, I think you have a great shot at Oberlin.</p>

<p>My impression is that a number of Vanderbilt applicants might have some trouble with the "Why Oberlin" essay. Hopefully you will be able to articulate a coherent, plausible reason why you want to attend Oberlin. This will help IMO.</p>

<p>But I am by no means an expert on admissions.</p>

<p>Okay, thank you both for writing :3</p>

<p>i would think that you would have a good chance</p>
