oberlin FA

<p>okay, so i was accepted by snail mail on march 30. i've been waiting for my FA package, and still have not recieved it. should i contact the FA office, or should i simply wait?</p>

<p>I’m not sure where you live and how that might affect mailing times, but my son’s FA package was also delayed. I think he learned of his acceptance to Oberlin College two weeks before he got his FA package. I did notice that other people on CC got their FA package inside their acceptance package. He did not, for some reason.</p>

<p>We waited and waited … and finally on April 1st, he called the FA office to ask about it. They said they just mailed it that morning, April 1. It arrived on April 4th. We’re still not sure why his came separately while other people got theirs with their acceptances. Could it have something to do with the fact that he was accepted by the Conservatory long ago and received one notice of aid already, only to have it superseded by another notice from the College later on?</p>

<p>I don’t think it could hurt to call and ask about it. But it might well come tomorrow for you.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>just checked my FA status online! i got my FA award. i guess they’ll snail mail it to me soon. thanks, simplelife! :)</p>
