<p>From this article, the admissions process at Oberlin seems very similar to the one described in Jacques Steinberg's "The Gatekeepers" about Wesleyan. It's also pretty close to the process described in Rachel Toor's Duke tell-all book, "Admissions Confidential". It's nice to know that each applicant seems to be given a good deal of consideration--quite different from the large state universities.</p>
