Did anyone else get a message that they have extended their deadline to February 1st? Seems odd.
D has now received two emails citing the deadline change. No explanation given.
for arts and sciences?
Yes, us too. I think it’s because my son filled out the first part of their app and sent his test scores, but never completed the application. He got in to another school EA and is not applying to Oberlin (although I would have loved him to go there!).
It seems strange though, given the posted deadline has passed.
This happened to my daughter at several other schools after she got in ED to Oberlin. I think because she started her applications already they were wanting her to apply. Several schools extended applications way past the deadline and said she would qualify for large merit scholarships too. I think it’s pretty standard now that colleges can see online progress through the portal.
