@Mapmanus Did he say this was going to be a portal update or an email?
OMG I can’t believe this mail vs email thing is not getting answered!! Lol :((
Is @Mapmanus a bot? I only ask because it seems odd that it’s the exact same thing s/he posted yesterday.
I think it’s because no one really knows. I don’t think anyone is trying to ignore your question. There is only speculation on this that it will be today. Don’t fret if it isn’t. Just know that they are working as hard on it as they can and will release it when they are able to.
Or it could be like Grinnell, which updated it’s portal and NEVER sent an email…
Just called the Admission Office, the lady told me that decision emails will be out tomorrow (25th, Friday) to both applicants and their parents.
I spoke to the Ms. Aydelott. She said end of this month just a few hours ago. Internationals will receive emails.
@TrishaAgarwal I emailed her, and she said the same thing, the end of the month, which could be any following day.
Exactly. The wait continues…
so is it a different date for internationals? BEcause 25th and end of the month are not exactly the same
I doubt it’s a different date for the two. All that it really means is that a hard date has not been set yet. You could argue that the 25th is towards the end of the month. It’s not literally the end of the month, but pretty darn close. I think people are just looking at what the history has been and the fact that in prior years they have said the end of the month and released slightly earlier than that.
Thanks so much everyone–sorry I got a little “low-key salty” (as my daughter says… )! I really appreciate you checking, @musicwind !
R we getting the decisions by mail or email/portal? I’m from nj btw.
@ohwhatalife Probably portal first (possibly with email also), but no one knows.
Also I don’t know if they still follow this practice, but on an old blog post an admissions officer said they wait until later in the day to email letters and/or update the portal, so as not to disrupt the school day with the news.
I accidentally repeated myself lol. Just got waitlisted from Swarthmore
I just checked my Oberlin PRESTO account, and they already posted my financial aid! I’m taking that as a good sign.
@girlofpercussion Wow, congrats! How did you find that? Is it something that the rest of us could possibly check?

I signed up to check and make sure they received some of my family’s financial forms.
I may try that, thanks- did you use a proxy log in?
No, I used the regular log-in!
