<p>I would think if Oberlin is your favorite that you should be applying to Swarthmore, Haverford, Vassar, Wesleyan, Connecticut College, Skidmore instead of Middlebury, Williams, Hamilton, which generally have more of a preppy, conservative and jock feel to them. Yale and Bates are east coast schools that would feel more like Oberlin.</p>

<p>Thankyouu.</p>

<p>Im looking into maybe changing middlebury and hamilton, but I want to keep williams, if just for the interanational need-blindness.</p>

<p>Middlebury is need blind for internationals as well.</p>

6

<p>Oh. I'll hold onto that in that case. thankyouu.</p>

<p>You know, college really isn't for everyone. Just in case you grab a fatty rejection.</p>

<p>j/k imfao. You're golden. Your compository unit is impeccable. Go for it!!!! Yes?! YES, GO FOR IT!</p>

<p>In all seriousness (my friend wrote the above two comments), I'd look at retaking your SAT. You have a pretty solid score, and while it certainly won't keep you out at Middlebury, it is a place in your application that could use some work.</p>
