<p>Chances at Oberlin?</p>

2

<p>Your stats are terrific. Very strong chance of getting into Oberlin, in my opinion.</p>

3

<p>Thanks Skie!</p>

4

<p>With stats like these, you could find yourself with a large scholarship. You should also contact the field hockey coach who can help with admittance (assuming you want to play on their team).</p>

5

<p>FWIW, I am extremely well acquainted with someone with similar stats who did not get a large scholarship. </p>

<p>Moreover, stats alone do not guarantee admission. I suggest you visit the campus & give well-founded reasons for why there is a match in your "Why Oberlin?" essay.</p>

<p>Beethoven: Most of Oberlin's financial aid is need-based, not merit-based. High stats do not lead to large scholarships unless financial need is large.</p>

<p>

High stats seem to have led to a large merit based scholarship for me. Admittedly this is only one case, so this may be a rare occurence.</p>

<p>I would also have to say that my son got a very nice merit award also.</p>
