<p>monydad’s right, you should get in touch with the coordinator if you are seriously interested in the 3-2 program. They can answer your questions better than anyone here. (That said, I’ll still give it a shot :))</p>

<p>A minor point (actually, possibly a major point): be aware that you will not receive a graduate degree through a 3-2 program. You’ll get a B.A. from Oberlin and a B.S. from another school.</p>
<p>I remember from tour guide training that every year about six students enter with an interest in the 3-2 program, and about three move on to engineering school. I don’t know what percentage of students complete the final two years of the program once they leave Oberlin.</p>
<p>Case and WUSTL will automatically enroll any student from Oberlin’s 3-2 program, provided they have a GPA of at least 3.0 and the signature of the professor in charge of the program. CalTech, on the other hand, does not guarantee acceptance; you still have to apply and they will not consider anyone with a GPA below 3.5. I don’t know what the agreement is with Columbia.</p>
<p>If financial aid is important for you, keep in mind that for those last two years, you’ll need to apply for aid from the school you transfer to - whatever package you get from Oberlin won’t continue.</p>
