<p>Thought I'd start a thread for those of us (and parents too) who applied ED! I don't like being alone in this waiting agony.</p>
<p>just so you don’t feel so lonely. My son also applied ED. He loves the school but it’s a reach for him.</p>
<p>best of luck to you!</p>
<p>I applied ED as well (along with 3 others from my high school). Fingers crossed!! </p>
<p>@quietdesperation good luck to your son! @dampsandwich and good luck to you too!</p>
<p>thanks tarahific, we’re just about a week away! My S is into two safeties and a mini-reach EA, so hopefully if the shoe drops, he won’t be too crushed.</p>
<p>@quietdesperation good luck to your S! I’m getting anxious, decisions are so soon!</p>
<p>@quietdesperation realized i just said good luck twice, haha. Must be more anxious than i thought!</p>
<p>I applied to Oberlin in ED and i’m anxious to hear from them. I hope everyone gets in :3</p>
<p>anyone from NYC know when to expect a letter? </p>
<p>I applied to Oberlin ED as well and super anxious. Good luck to everyone </p>
<p>The word seems to be “early next week.” So I’m putting my money on Monday or Tuesday.</p>
<p>I wish I can get the offer.</p>
<p>I am so anxious.</p>
<p>I called admissions earlier this week and they told me the letters will definitely be mailed on monday (the 15th). but no one seems to know when the email is coming </p>
<p>@cks1001 it’s after midnight here, so that’s technically tomorrow. I’m freaking out! I would assume they’d send the emails Monday too then? Because the idea behind the emails is so every applicant knows their decisions around the same time on the same day. So i would think they’d send the emails in time for them to arrive BEFORE the letters.</p>
<p>They already have a page up saying “Welcome Class of 2019” so I’m kind of assuming the emails will come Monday when they send out the letters </p>
<p>@Tarahific i hope they email us monday, the anxiety is killing me ahah. but when i visited other tiny, liberal arts schools, they said that they normally send an email a week or so after the letter so we get ‘the letter’ first. they just want it to be more meaningful than an email i suppose. but hopefully they send out emails tomorrow! </p>
<p>@cks1001 I definitely think we’ll get the emails before the letters. I had asked at the beginning of December on one of Oberlin’s social media pages when the letters would be mailed and that’s when I found out there would be an email this year too for the first time. They said the purpose of it was so every applicant could find out their decision around the same time on the same day. So i would think that would mean they’d come before the letters!</p>
<p>I called on friday afternoon and an admissions rep said the letters definitely wouldn’t be sent out by Monday but more like by the 18th or 19th because they’re still making decisions. She said she’d never seen them get letters out by the 15th in the time she’d been there. </p>
<p>@corabrowner really? That’s so confusing because @cks1001 said they called too and was told Monday for mailing the letters. I know they’ve gone out on the 15th or even earlier before just from reading past Oberlin ED threads on here. Hmm. We’ll just have to wait and see! Still hoping for an email tomorrow.</p>
<p>@corabrowner @Tarahific that’s so weird. yeah when i called they said they’d be mailed tomorrow, and i have friends at oberlin who got their letters way earlier then the 15th in past years. but fingers crossed we get them soon! </p>
