What are my chances with Oberlin College?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi! I'm considering Oberlin College in my college search. However, I know that Oberlin is a very selective college--their website claims that they accept about a third of their applicants.</p>

<p>As far as grades go, I managed to squeeze out a 3.6 cumulative GPA for the first semester of my junior year and a 3.7 for my second. I took two college-level (ACC) classes and will be taking three next year. I also scored a 31 on my ACT. My extra-curricular activities include being part of the fall play/spring musical at my school as well as the art club, movie club, green team and newspaper. Oh! I was also accepted into the Writing Institute at Washington University in Saint Louis. I can produce a great admissions essay and letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>So, what do you all think? Do I have a decent chance of being accepted? Is there anything I can do to better my chances? Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated! Please reply soon!</p>

<p>Hi maxaroooni: an admissions officer here at Oberlin tackled precisely this question in an Oberlin blog post. I highly recommend reading her post: [What</a> are my chances?](<a href=“http://blogs.oberlin.edu/applying/selection_process/what_are_my_cha.shtml]What”>http://blogs.oberlin.edu/applying/selection_process/what_are_my_cha.shtml)</p>

<p>Hope this helps!</p>
