<p>Hey I was wondering if this looks like what Oberlin is looking for at all for music/creative writing majors:</p>

<p>GPA: 4.19 weighted (going to rise)
3.88 unweighted (same)
Rank: 32/317 (getting better…it’s in the 20’s now)
SAT: (they’re not fair)…writing 610, crit reading 520, math 550.
ACT: June 10th, not taken yet.
9th grade i took almost all honors (I have 3 B’s on my transcript), 10th grade i took 2 honors, this year (11) i took 1 ap and 4 honors and have all A’s (one b+). From 10th grade on, I have all A’s on the transcript. Next year, I am taking 4 AP’s (2 AP and 2 ap weighted honors) and 1 actual honors honors.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: People to people student ambassador program, national youth leadership conference (possibly–next summer), glsen (helps teach others about diversity), junior mendelssohn choir, voice lessons, piano lessons, cantoring for my rabbi, jazz choir, chamber choir (most elite), and many others that I can’t think of. </p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>I know creative writing is a competitive major, but as I’m not in the con. I have no idea what the admission criteria for that is</p>

<p>hi again! Looks like you’re applying to all the schools I did last year! it makes a big difference whether you’re applying to the double degree program with the college and conservatory (what I did) or just to the the college music major. As you might imagine, the conservatory admission is a good deal more competitive, especially in voice and piano. On the other hand, the conservatory doesn’t particularly care about SAT scores, which is nice. A warning though, the double degree program is pretty intense (it’s a 5 year program), which is why I eventually decided against Oberlin. The problem with being a college music major is you tend to get the leftovers behind the people in the conservatory in terms of placement in ensembles, private lessons etc. hope this helps!</p>
