<p>Oberlin is supposed to announce its early decision acceptances for its College of Arts and Sciences in the middle of December. Does anyone know on what date they will come out? I found a blog by someone in admissions, but it really doesn't state a specific date. Also, are the decisions emailed or mailed, or both? Just getting anxious!</p>
<p>It seems that last year the ED letters were mailed by Oberlin on 12/14. I can’t find anything about email notification.</p>
<p>Decisions are emailed only to international students. Snailmail for everyone else.</p>
<p>A Oberlin Admissions Counselor confirmed what you folks have posted above. I understood that the letters are mailed to the recipients on December 15th–and are received via regular mail a couple days afterward. Means we’re competing with the many holiday cards, packages & presents going through the mail system this time of the year~lol. (The First World challenges, we have to “contend” with…) </p>
<p>Our son – the trombone & mandolin player – has applied ED to the college. He came back from a campus visit this past October, smitten by the dialogue he witnessed in the classes he sat in on & the music spilling out of those many practice rooms in the Conservatory. He informed us that “this is the one.” I never dreamed he’d be applying ED, but each child is unique; his older sister had applied to seven colleges or so a couple yrs earlier & is currently a happily adjusted junior @ Swarthmore. (I’m secretly hoping that we get this college application process over with sooner then later–on the condition that we have a good fit). </p>
<p>I hope that our son gets his wish, yet there are many many great schools out there–should this ED option not work out as he had intended. In the mean time…it’s hurry up & wait mode for us here in Seattle area. :)</p>
<p>If the letters were mailed last year on Dec 14, that was a Friday. This year, Dec 15 lands on a Sunday. So maybe they will mail them again on a Friday–which would be 12/13 and they will arrive on the 15th or 16th!</p>
<p>Recently emailed an admissions rep. and she said the decisions would be mailed out on Friday the 13th. Hopefully the date isn’t a reflection of my decision…</p>
<p>Has anyone heard anything yet?</p>
<p>Nothing! In past years there has been some blogging by admissions, but there doesn’t seem to be anything this year.</p>
<p>Nothing yet. Very unnerving.</p>
<p>The letters were all mailed out friday, which means most of us should be getting them sometime next week! They only do letters, no email. The reason we haven’t heard anything today is because there is no mail on sunday.</p>
<p>Hopefully most of us will get letters today! I don’t know how much I can wait!!</p>
<p>D received a big envelope today. Cannot open it!!! Have to wait four more hours for that 'til she gets back from school!</p>
<p>I have applied ED to Oberlin too!
I’ve been told international applicants will be emailed later today. Fingers crossed! :/</p>
<p>Just got accepted! Didn’t think it would show up this early considering I’m in the Carolina’s, but hooray!</p>
