<p>I'm soooooooooooooo happy, I got an email from them today telling me that I had been admitted. They also invited to their new student preview day thingy...yall know what I mean for the April 14-17</p>
<p>Whoa. That be early, son. Was that your coach or something that told you that you got in? I heard that my status report for recruiting says whether or not I got accepted, but the coach can't tell me. I want to hear it from the admissions office, anyways. I'm thinking I'll hear within the next 9-14 days from all my schools, but man. I'd love to know now.</p>
<p>Wow, I was going to say that there was no way you got mail before I did, since I live in Ohio, but an email...I could believe that! Congratulations!</p>
<p>Does that mean they mailed out decisions today? I sure hope so!</p>
<p>Thanx,</p>
<p>sdskyle, not a recruited athlete, letter was from director of minority recruitment </p>
<p>wolf, they dont mail their decisions till the end of march, mine was an eary write</p>
<p>Oh well, so much for hoping! But I applied to the con as well, and there's no way they could have made a decision that quickly.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, and congrats again.</p>
<p>Wolf, is Oberlin your 1st choice?</p>
<p>Well the college is my 2nd choice, but I'd have a heck of a hard time turning down the con.</p>
<p>i'm sort of pessimistic about oberlin now that i got rejected from mac. i mean, i want to go to oberlin SO MUCH MORE than macalester, but blah. i really hope we hear soon =(</p>
<p>wondrlst: I got rejected by Mac too, but I have always thought that I stand a much better chance at Oberlin.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>congrats jblackboy05 !! we are talking abt RD right ??...when did u get it ??</p>
<p>congrats jbb! I got in too, got my letter last week.</p>
<p>spiked: did you get a letter or an email? And what day did you get it?</p>
<p>Congrats, btw. Will you go to Oberlin?</p>
<p>ahh! why have people gotten letters already? I=hella nervous. Oberlin is pretty much my first choice with Smith and Chicago.</p>
<p>Yes we are talking RD I got it on 3/18 and thanx for the congrats</p>
<p>post stats plz.. im waiting to hear about my RD.. god, it better come soon</p>
<p>I got in as well. It will be a hard time deciding between them and Amherst.</p>
<p>Well judging by what you've set your location to, you've already made up your mind! :p</p>
<p>Well, I'm not sure. I thought about it - Oberlin does have some advantages, they gave me a slightly better FA pack for instance, but so does Amherst - and it's hard for Oberlin to beat Amherst's location. Anyway, options are still open. How's Ohio compared to Massachusets, wolf?</p>
<p>I didn't check out Amherst, but I can tell you that Oberlin is in the middle of nowhere. It seems like it would be pretty boring. I still applied though.</p>
<p>Well I'd take Mass. any day over Ohio. But I'd also take Oberlin over Amherst!</p>
<p>So I'll give you pros/cons about Oberlin</p>
<p>pro: amazing school, great education/respected degree, fun place, good for music even if it's not a major, wonderful art museum, understanding professors.
neutral: very liberal, "hippie" people
con: food, dorms, location</p>
<p>If location is really a problem, get a car and you can drive to Ashland/Wooster or Cleveland pretty easily.</p>
