<p>Intuitively, 33% seems very selective for an LAC that has 2800 students. Most LACs come in between 1,100 and 1,500 students. Even if you eliminate the Con students, Oberlin is still more than 50% bigger than the average LAC. I wonder what the accept rate would be if Oberlin had only, say, 1,400 students? Would it be a lot lower? I got a “C” in Calc in college, so I’m not exactly a math geek. Can one of you math whizzes post a formula or theorem to show if I’m right or wrong?</p>
