Exploring College Options-Virtual Info Sessions with Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, U. Penn, and Stanford

Exploring College Options is a special informational program sponsored by the undergraduate admissions offices of five of the country's leading universities: Duke University, Georgetown University, Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Stanford University.


Representatives from each university will present information about their institution, discuss the application process, and answer questions on how to put together a strong and reflective application. Each program will end with breakout sessions where representatives will answer questions about their specific school and the application process.


VIRTUAL PROGRAMS

All virtual programs are listed in Eastern Daylight Time.




AnnieRuth Summer Internship (application deadline is September 15th)

The AnnieRuth program seeks to give all junior and senior high school students, regardless of socio-economic background, over 50 hours of training to help prepare them for the adult world. This includes resume help, college essay one on one, SAT prep, etc. And what's cool is that in the summer of 2023, they work to match you with your career path aspirations through an established and PAID internship. So, for example, with the many partners they have, if student A from a disadvantaged background dreams of being a pediatrician, AnnieRuth does their best to contact their clinical partners to match student A so he/she/they may have this eye-opening experience, while also earning above minimum wage.

The application deadline is September 15th!

Oberlin’s Multicultural Visit Program is accepting applications!

As the first college in the country to adopt a policy to admit students regardless of race, Oberlin College has a deep commitment to access and inclusion. That’s why we offer the Multicultural Visit Program. This all-expenses-paid trip to campus allows students to experience the vibrancy and diversity of a top liberal arts college that challenges convention, embraces difference, and encourages originality.


High school seniors selected for the program will be hosted overnight by a current Oberlin student and will attend classes, visit with professors, and get a firsthand view of campus life.


We encourage applications from students from diverse backgrounds such as American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African-American, Hispanic/Latino(a), Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander. We will also consider low-income and/or first-generation college students, regardless of cultural or racial background.


MVP will be offered twice this fall: October 27-29 and November 10-12. The priority application deadline for both programs is September 25th. Students applying via Early Decision, to the Posse Scholars Program, or as a QuestBridge Match Scholar to another institution are NOT eligible to attend MVP and should visit our campus visit website for other ways to connect with Oberlin.


Please visit the Multicultural Visit Program website to learn more. If you have any questions, please contact us at multicultural.admissions@oberlin.edu.
