<p>hie again,I applied ED.Your GPA is actually not bad.They definetely take into account the rigor of your courses and your app is therefore viewed against that backdrop.I am confident that they will be more impressed with an Ok GPA from a challenging curriculum than an astronomically high one attained in a watered down course.So,no worries there.I wouldnt contact them at this point,because they are probably extremely busy.If your essay was out of the box,then you were right on target since Oberlin is all about being quirky and unique.Check out the Oberlin blogs on their website under Charles Grim,he wrote extensively about how they calculate GPA for international students.</p>
