<p>I applied Early Decision to Oberlin, and I was wondering if any students who applied ED in past years could help me with a few questions. One, when might I expect a notification from the college regarding my application? The Oberlin site says mid-December, but I was wondering if anyone knows a more specific date. Also, will the college notify by email or by regular mail?
Any information you have on this subject would be extremely helpful. Thanks!</p>
<p>My daughter heard last year via regular mail on December 15. Good luck!</p>
<p>Check out the Oberlin hopefuls group on facebook. the same thing is being discussed over there.</p>
<p>I emailed and asked.
The response was that the plan was to mail on Friday the 11th, but that a delay in receiving some scores from College Board MIGHT delay it a business day or two.
Thus, we know nothing.</p>
<p>I heard on December 17th; I think they generally try to mail them on the second Friday in December. Oberlin only sends e-mail notifications to international student; if you’re in the US, you’ll get a letter.</p>
<p>The 17th is the third Friday, the 11th is the second Friday.</p>
<p>What I meant was, when I applied ED two years ago, I was notified on December 17th, which was a Monday. The letter had been mailed the preceding Friday, which was the second Friday of December.</p>
<p>Last year my son, who got into Oberlin ED 1, received notification by snail mail by a letter which was dated December 12 and received a few days afterwards. BTW, he loves it there. Good luck!</p>
<p>Early Decision letters will be mailed on Monday (the 14th). We did originally plan to mail on the 11th, but pushed it back a few days for various reasons.</p>
<p>So, does anybody think that the letters/emails have been sent?</p>
<p>I’m expecting an email. So far: nothing. They said the 14th so I’ll just hand on and try not to go crazy. :)</p>
<p>^^I’ve already gone bonkers!</p>
<p>Any internationals got their decisions yet? I’m still waiting for mine. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>yeah, I’m accepted! :)</p>
<p>Congrats, Cyan. Anyone in US heard results from Oberlin Conservatory EA? If we don’t hear soon, I am afraid someone in my house is going to go postal… ;-)</p>
<p>Letters were put in the mail on Monday, according to the admissions office.</p>
<p>aren’t con ea decisions still sent via email?</p>
<p>I don’t know if they send emails. I know they send emails to international students. At the admissions meeting during the audition weekend the Director of admissions said that he would not send bad news in an email. </p>
<p>I am wondering whether anyone who is in the US has gotten an email acceptance? </p>
<p>Yes … officially losing it, here…Everytime the dog barks, I go running to the window to see if the mail came… talk about pavlovian… I really need to get a life…</p>
<p>I am rejected :(. I got an email. I’m an international.</p>
<p>That was today’s mail… nothing yet :-(</p>
