<p>I wanted that T-shirt. I guess putting where else I applied was retarded of me.</p>
<p>If you are truly over qualified, then why worry? These threads are on the forum of every selective school. I understand disappointment, but don’t blame the school for making the best decisions they can.</p>
<p>Not sure your post makes sense to me. How can you be over qualified. The colleges look for the most qualified applicants they can admit.</p>
<p>Sorry, but Oberlin doesn’t reject people because they’re “overqualified.” Must have been some other reason. Sorry…</p>
<p>There are schools that waitlist overqualified applicants, but they’re infamous for it. I don’t think Oberlin’s one of them.</p>
<p>I, too, put where else I was applying (and yes, I did get into some colleges that are ranked higher than Oberlin), so like dave said, there must be another reason. You might consider having a college counselor call the admissions office to ask why you were rejected.</p>
<p>Sorry about the rejection, but there are so many other great options out there. Keep your mind open!</p>
<p>I checked your stats on one of your recent posts, and I don’t know why you consider yourself overqualified!</p>
<p>Anyway, it’s about fit, not just stats.</p>
<p>I think RigaTony is gone.</p>
<p>maybe in his Why Oberlin essay he used the phrase “■■■■■■■■ of me” or indicated that what he really wanted was a T-shirt…</p>
