Applying to Oberlin
We’re glad you are considering Oberlin, one of the country’s premier liberal arts colleges. We are a community of thinkers, scholars, scientists, musicians, athletes, activists, and artists. A strong high school performance in a full range of challenging courses is essential to meeting Oberlin’s academic demands. While Oberlin students typically do very well on the SAT and ACT tests, they also show a commitment to go beyond, to volunteer, or to get involved with their community or school. They are students who care about the world, believe they can help make it a better place, and have the courage to try. If that appeals to you, we encourage you to explore this site and plan to visit us soon.-
