<p>I got in Oberlin ED, but I only found out through email because I live in Montreal and am in Pittsburgh for the holidays. I hope the envelope is waiting for me when I get back! Is there anything really important in it I should call them about? Like a housing survey that needs to be filled out right away?</p>
<p>Congrats! At this point, they only ask for a $300 deposit and request that you fill out an administrative form with family data.</p>
<p>Is anyone else applying under EDII?
My application is in for EDII, and yesterday my admissions rep called and asked if I could elaborate more on a part of my essay that discussed a dip in my grades one school year. I am delighted to have the opportunity to do so, but at the same time am a bit scared that my dubious transcript will guarantee that I wont be accepted.
Is it at least a good sign that they're wanting to learn more about it?</p>
<p>I think it's a great sign. I'm no expert, but it probably means that they want you in but not 100% sure because of that year's lacking grades. Take full advantage of this opportunity and you're in.</p>
<p>Ah, I got in and am so stoked!</p>
<p>that's awesome, congrats!! if you don't mind me being too nosy, what were your grades like? i'm a junior now, but obie's definately my first choice for next year and i'm trying to collect all the info i can!!</p>
<p>I had a 5.0 during my junior and senior year (because I did a pseo where I only took college courses for an associate degree), but because my grades dropped during the 10th grade (to a 2.0!) My overall gpa is only a 3.7w and 3.4uw. My test scores weren't too impressive neither (act:27). So yeah, I am super surprised I got in. I had pretty good recs, essays, and ecs, though.</p>
<p>I applied EDII and still haven't heard yet. How have people found out? Is it only by email or is there an envelope too?</p>
<p>I applied EDII as well and haven't received a reply yet...</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry about it. You aren't technically supposed to receive notice until tomorrow. And some people after that.</p>
