[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of those profiles are for ENROLLED students while Oberlin's is listed for ADMITTED students. It is not a fair comparison. [/quote]

The actual number for Oberlin freshman ACT is 29-31, the grades are b+ a link to the cds which is posted above has much lower numbers. Judging by the scores and the grades of the admitted students it’s not top 5-11. It’s more like 30 where the US news has placed the school. 30 is still good ... I don’t understand the need to inflate the schools stats. [/quote]

Can you provide the link to the source of your data?  [/quote]

29-31 is still very close in range to their historical record.  Also, one quirky thing about Oberlin is that they translate all GPA data to unweighted for CDS whereas many other schools don't. I think it's because they have a sizeable group of students from private schools that don't weight.  You'd think they'd try to game the system more though.[/quote]

Act 29-31 it totally different than 30-34... as in good school v. ivy league.[/quote]
