<p>Which country are you from, Loislin?</p>

<p>I'm from China. and since it's a stats thread:
SAT I: 750CR,800M,750W Toefl(pbt): 650 TWE:6.0
SATII: Math2 800 Physics 800 Chemistry 730
top 5% grades,good recs
EC: editor in chief, founder of one society and several active memberships,piano</p>

<p>Oberlin stood out in my college choices for it's a prestigious liberal arts college offering great academics, its commitment to the society(since its special historic standing) and the art vibrancy etc.
I think my Y Oberlin essay was good because I truly want to be a member of this school. And so I'm looking forward to meeting you guys who applied to Oberlin for some of the same reasons. Hope to see you there.:) </p>

<p>Yeah, I applied for aid. I'm grateful they made my Oberlin education affordable.</p>

<p>Well, nice to meet you :)</p>

<p>did anyone else get an email from an oberlin admissions officer?</p>

<p>letter about what ??
d**n I missed the chat session. completely forgot, and the funny thing is it was just an hour ago!
anyways....i hope you guys went....what was it like??</p>

<p>builtfordakill76--some of us are still waiting for confirmation letters..lol (I got mine though)</p>

<p>I haven't even got a confirmation letter yet......</p>

<p>The chat was great.</p>

<p>I got a confirmation.</p>

<p>Arit, email Oberlin again.</p>

<p>they must have received my app as I did get the chat invite......no confirmation though.....
And plus they did say that they will inform me if something is missing.....</p>

<p>"And plus they did say that they will inform me if something is missing....."</p>

<p>Well I think that's what they mean by confirmation. I too got one of those general messages...if that's not it.....I too haven't got my confirmation yet!!(lol!) So don't worry about that..</p>

<p>Wow, you guys are so amazing.</p>

<p>Oh goddamnit, I wrote a general four-sentence answer to "why Oberlin" having something to do with "oh gosh, well my professor thinks it's a fit, so --". Ughh. I'm a transfer student, to make matters worse. It never occurred to me they wanted more than a very brief paragraph to complement the actual transfer essay.</p>

<br>


<br>

<p>Why are we so amazing?</p>

<p>"Wow, you guys are so amazing."......I 'm ....flattered....
Hey I too wrote a general "why oberlin" essay (Same for all other colleges I applied)...was about three paras...but nothing specific...</p>

<p>Urgh.</p>

<p>I want to go to Oberlin soo bad. I wanna apply to attend fall '09
I am gonna apply here ED I believe, but do you think this will increase or decrease my chances(more competitive pool etc)?</p>

<p>I haven't yet taken the SAT but from what I've heard expect around 2100-300</p>

<p>I have 4 As 1 A* 3B's and 2 D's at GCSE
transcript Gpa equivalent will be essentially straight A's and occasional B's</p>

<p>At A level I am taking Art, Eng Lit, Philosophy and Religious Studies, in a highly selective grammar school.</p>

<p>My EC's are good including touring in a band nationwide, and high positions in various book film and fiction clubs as well as other arty filmy sort of things.
I am so frickin nervous. Even tho its still ages until Im even meant to start THINKING about applying : /</p>

<p>What did you put in your "why oberlin" essay? Im scared when I do it I will go too eccentric or flamboyant which is common when I write stuff of my opinion
: /</p>

<p>So what did you successful people's essays look like.</p>

<p>I'm from England and am focused heavily on english and art and music and only kinda satisfactory at maths and sciences, does this stint my chances?</p>
