GPA- 3.43
PSAT- 191</p>
<p>there is no possible way to tell whether or not you would fit and/or be accepted to oberlin (or anywhere really) based solely on scores. there are so many other factors that are much more important. your scores are good though, so they won't hurt you.</p>
<p>I have a hard time believing Oberlin cares a great deal about numbers.</p>
<p>Do I have a chance at all either??? I'm a junior in high school now.

Recs: They will be extremely good. I am close with a few teachers who like me alot, know me well and will say really good things. They also write well from reading past recs for other students.

I would really appreciate some thoughts!!!!! My intended major is a Bachelor of Music Degree in Voice/Opera Performance and Vocal Music Education Double Major.</p>
<p>Thanks so much, Patrick
-aplying next year to the conservatory and college, is stuff good enough?</p>
<p>Patrick,</p>
<p>If you want to do a dual major in vocal performance and music ed, then you need not apply to Oberlin College, just to the Conservatory. Both of those departments are in the Con. Your academic credentials are more than adequate for the Conservatory, so the main factor influencing the admission decision will be your audition. You only have to apply to the College if you want to do a dual degree with one of those degrees being a BA in something that is taught at the College.</p>
<p>As long as you get into the Conservatory, it is easy to sign up for the dual degree program later on if you change your mind about majors.</p>
