<p>Hi this is my first post and i was hoping if you all think I stand a chance at Oberlin, I know chance threads are kinda pointless but bear with me please. Here are my stats</p>

<p>African American male
Live in south Georgia
3.5/4.0
Only 2 APs ( Chem and Lang Comp)
Mostly Pre-AP classes
Science Olympiad 2years
Chess Club 2 years
JV soccer one year
French Honor Society 2 years
First to go to college in my family</p>

<p>I will be applying for need based aid as well</p>

<p>I realize all responses should be taken with a grain of salt, I just want to know if you all think I stand a chance. Thxs again!</p>

<p>I forgot to add that I made a 30 on the ACTs hoping to retake and score atleast a 32</p>

<p>Yeah you’re in pretty good shape.</p>

<p>The 30 is good enough. I agree with philadelphia. But don’t blow the essays. :)</p>
