<p>kvilledeac, thanks for the advice. I’ve been a little concerned about this, but there seem to be some pretty smart cookies at Guilford (as well as slackers, but every college has both). There’s an honors program I’d like to be a part of, and there’s also a program where you can take classes at other colleges nearby. Oberlin seems like a reach for me, it’s also a little far. </p>
<p>Part of why I’m applying where I’m generally above the 75th percentile is for merit aid, because I can’t get federal aid (parents have a few houses)</p>
<p>But hey, if I could go to Oberlin, I most likely would.</p>
