Fair question -
Oxy admitted women at a 5% higher clip last year…now how Oberlin admit rates work given the conservatory, I can’t say.
Oberlin has 54% submit a test and it has slightly higher scores than Oxy (1390 to 1490) where Oxy is a 36% submit rate with a 1370 to 1470 according to the CDS. But go on their respective student profiles, and Oxy shows 28% submitted and Oberlin a 59% submit rate.
On the Oberlin website (not CDS), they show 20% in the top 1% of the class, 48% in the top 5% and 64% in the top 10%. Oxy CDS shows 52% in the top 10%.
On their individual websites (not CDS), Oberlin shows a 3.8 unweighted while Oxy a 3.65.
All in all - I surmise - Oxy is an easier admit and while a reach, more likely for this student than Oberlin.
Thanks
