<p>I applied EDII to Oberlin. I absolutely adore the school, more so than the school i was deferred from EDI (I found Oberlin after I had already applied). Anyway, I thought I'd just see if anyone could comment on my chances.</p>
<p>-GPA: 3.5 ish
-My school doesn't rank
-3 APs - I moved after my sophomore year, and my new school makes me take all these silly electives in order to graduate; therefore, I wasn't able to take all the classes I wanted. All my other classes have been honors though.
-I'm from New Jersey, and no one from my school has ever applied to Oberlin. They invited my guidance counselor to take a tour of the school last year, and I heard that was a good sign because they might be looking for people from my area.
-SAT: 1250 old & 1940 new
-ACT: 29
-SAT IIs: Literature - 670 & Math I - 590 (I'm terrible in math. I get by in math class with Bs though)
-I had a wonderful interview at the school. I think it went the best than any other school I've interviewed at. My interviewer sent me a note, encouraging me to apply ED. However, from what I've heard from other applicants, that doesn't really mean much.
-I put my heart and soul into my "Why Oberlin" essay haha.</p>
<p>Okay, ECs:
-Arts and Entertainment Editor of my school's newspaper
-Intern at an Independent Record Label
-Inducted into the Quill and Scroll Honors Society
-Shift Leader at Ben and Jerry's (Jerry's an Oberlin alum!)
-Volunteer at an animal shelter
-Tutor every week for middle school kids
-Editor of the yearbook
-French Club
-Latin Club
-JV Tennis for two years
-Key Club</p>
<p>Okay, that's it. Thanks!</p>
