<p>I agree that you have a good shot at getting in. I was going to apply to Oberlin too, but parents prohibited me from doing double degree between the conservatory and college, so not anymore. Your scores are within range and you have good ECs, so I’d say it’s a match. Good luck! Chance me back?</p>

<p>Because you applied ED I would call Oberlin a low match, so you will probably get in…</p>
