<p>no, I didn’t either, after all 
I opened my mailbox to see about Oberlin and was mocked instead by a Haverford waitlist letter.</p>
<p>Accepted here in PA. Letter coincided with packets from Grinnell and Hamilton. Mailman seemed to take great pleasure in cramming each one in the bendiest shapes possible so I have three rather sorry-looking folders on my desk at the moment. XD</p>
<p>Got my rejection letter in the Los Angeles suburbs today.</p>
<p>Got my rejection in SF… I have to admit I wasn’t expecting to be rejected. I wrote a great essay about my experience with the Oberlin Dance Company here in SF and and how it influenced me as a dancer and helped me grow. I guess they didn’t see any potential.</p>
<p>Yeah I’m just going crazy waiting… on the waitlist… 
Just got the letter today. Think I’ll bombard them with supplements.</p>
<p>Admitted in LA!</p>
<p>My daughter was admitted today with $15K scholarship. Hooray! Dickinson and Denison also gave money and this makes our decision much easier–she loves Oberlin. Thank you Oberlin!</p>
<p>We are in West Virginia.</p>
<p>I got in with a $20,000 merit scholarship- So pumped!!!</p>
<p>Got a $16,000 merit scholarship!</p>
<p>Did anyone hear from the Conservatory today?</p>
<p>Waitlisted. I’m dissapointed, but alright with it–I have some acceptances from some really great schools already in hand and there’s still a chance (albeit a small one :P) that I’ll end up at Oberlin. </p>

Congrats to everyone else accepted and good luck to those on the waitlist!</p>
<p>Accepted today in SoCal with $15,000 merit scholarship and a handwritten note at the bottom of my acceptance letter, saying how great a fit Oberlin is for me… :)</p>
<p>I would like to encourage anyone who is accepted by the Conservatory to come over to the <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/1260441-master-list-music-school-acceptances-fall-2012-a-32.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/1260441-master-list-music-school-acceptances-fall-2012-a-32.html</a> and post their acceptances to that thread as well. (Also, anyone who intends to do a BA in Music through the College, even though you can’t actually declare that major yet.)</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Oberlin is a great school-he may very well attend.</p>
<p>YAAAAAAY
Accepted with 12k merit money.
So pumped.
It’s between this and grinnell, grinnell gave me a bit more money, but I gotta visit and see
Grats to everyone who got accepted!!</p>
<p>Torn about posting here about my son – rejected yesterday. Although he had moved on from Oberlin as a top choice because he realized he likes bigger schools, and he is thrilled to be going to his first choice school – I am saddened by this experience. My son is what I always thought was a classic Obie – intellectual, non-conformist, writer who had some ups and downs academically in 9th and 10th grade but took off his junior year and has flourished, winning debate and writing awards. Well-rounded, with varsity sports, service etc. Strong essays, he described a great interview, did an overnight and visited classes, great recs (his teacher told me what she wrote about). 3.5 cumulative gpa overall (4.1 weighted), 3.7 over last two years (4.3 or higher unweighted), 30 ACT superscore (35 Reading). Math is his downfall, his brain just doesn’t work that way, and that brings down his gpa and his testing. </p>
<p>If there isn’t room for students like this at schools like Oberlin – students who are genuinely interesting and interested in ideas but do not have perfect portfolio, I am, as I said, saddened. We emphasized the process of education in our home, not the result, and I feel I have short-changed our children.</p>
