Oberlin ED 2021 Help!

we are so confused tonight. D did not receive a congratulations or an email, but when we checked her portal we found an “intent to enroll” form with a request for a 300.00 deposit. Did others who were accepted receive this as well? Can anyone advise about what may have happened and if she should assume she has been accepted, or have we made a mistake? if anyone knows we would love to hear from you!

Yes, my D had the same enrollment and deposit form.

I would assume your D was accepted. Congrats!

@hellofagal! but…did your D get a letter of congrats, or did she just find the “intent to enroll” form on her portal? we so afraid to get excited unless we’re sure!

@hellofagal, would so appreciate hearing from you!

She got a an email telling her to check her portal. She clicked the view update and a flashing Congrats graphic popped up.

The view update is a link.

I was typing too quickly above:). Does this help?

@radioflyer that’s the same thing that happened to my daughter - a note to check the portal and then a flashing congrats scene. Your situation is odd and I think you should call in the morning - but it sounds more good than bad!

@LMCC9902 and @Hellofagal so…we did NOT get a note to check the portal or a flashing congrats sign. all we saw was that there was an “intent to enroll” form dated 12-14. the question is really did everyone who applied get that form and only those accepted should have returned it, OR did only accepted kids get it and she did not get her acceptance congrats for some reason. SOOOOOO confused. what do you think?

I can’t imagine that someone not admitted would get an intent to enroll form, right?? I think it’s a glitch and she’s in but I think you call them in the morning to see what’s up. You want to fun flashing congrats and everything!

Does it say ‘view update’ above the enrollment form?

@Hellofagal ours does and I think that’s how it’s supposed to work. It says “view update” and then under that it says “payment due” enrollment deposit. Then the scholarship award is a link at the bottom of the acceptance letter.

I’m wondering if this might be a pop up blocker issue.

no…i don’t think so…ack. i think we’re going to have to sleep on this and find out tomorrow. it would be great to hear from someone who also did not receive a congrats or alert or acceptance letter about what they can see on THEIR portal but I don’t want to pester anyone…if anyone else can advise would love to hear from you. thanks all and congrats to all those who know they were accepted! hopefully D will be joining you!

Yes maybe! @radioflyer can you make sure to take off pop up blocker and try again? Though it still doesn’t explain why your daughter would not have gotten an email saying she had an update. Did you check spam?

@radioflyer Sent you a PM.

well, the original form is gone now that we filled it out, so i can’t tell for sure, but i don’t think it did. I think we’re going to sleep on it and call the admissions office in the am. We may have made a mistake by returning the form without having been asked to…very confusing. Hoping for a good outcome! thanks everyone! VERY happy for everyone who was accepted tonight, and hoping for the best for all who are all still waiting or in weird limbo like us :slight_smile:

@Hellofagal and @LMC9902 unless everyone got an intent to enroll form today in advance of notifications…i guess that is possible, and maybe we were mistaken in thinking we were supposed to respond to it if we did not receive a prompt. sigh…tomorrow is another day!

I can’t even imagine how frustrating this must be. Try to get some sleep.

thank you!!! arrrgh. and congratulations!
