Nope, I didn’t get anything. Is it bad that we didn’t get an email? I feel like they’re saving their rejections for later…
I haven’t gotten anything and I am a US student… Oberlin is my #1… what does this mean??
I’m sure it’s fine if you haven’t heard yet. Sounds like they are rolling out decisions for admitted students every Friday until April 1st, when everything comes out. It might very well just be random.
I wouldn’t worry too much if you haven’t heard! My daughter applied ED and she heard on December 14 but there were several others who didn’t hear for a few days after that and some of them got in too. I think Oberlin doesn’t follow a strict pattern of releasing all decisions at once, but I can see how stressful that makes things!
Keep us posted on how it goes, I hope you hear good things soon. My daughter and the other ED students are excited to start hearing how the class will round out. If you’re already accepted you should join the facebook group, I think there’s also a chat thread going around. My daughter will be attending the April 21 All Roads event, which is the latest one so I hope she can meet some of you there!
Has Oberlin announced when they will put out the rest of the RD? A bunch of colleges have said they are announcing this Friday/Saturday: Middlebury, Bowdoin, Swarthmore.
Looking at the past two years, it seems to have been close to the 24th of March. I haven’t seen any actual date from the admissions office.
I e-mailed them and they informed me that they are aiming to release the decisions at the end of next week.
Why have they released some decisions and not others?
Has anyone who auditioned RD to the conservatory of music heard back from Oberlin?
@marnina I think what they’ve released so far has just been early notices not the official release
Is it just me or has everyone have had a note from their admission counselor in their applicant portal? (Trying to find out whatever positive I can just to calm my nerves) :((
Found out on the 3rd! I’m in
are we hearing back at the end of the week?
I heard they may be sending it out at the end of this week. Last year they notified on March 25 for regular decision, so based on this, it might be this Friday. Have heard some other LAC were sending out on Friday too. Has anyone heard from them this week?
Nothing yet, @admission2017 !
I got rejected from Grinnell, so I don’t expect anything good from Oberlin
My DD got an enthusiastic email last night from a coach that decisions were coming out this week.
@Zpower99 Did you write the sup essay for Grinnell?
@TeenageFanclubFan yes, but basically just change the schools name from the essays I wrote for other schools and I did the same thing to oberlin’s supp essay
@Zpower99 Grinnell is a lot more competitive than Oberlin. I’m an international student from Bangladesh and almost everyone I know applied to Grinnell and haven’t even heard of Oberlin.
On that note, I got rejected from Grinnell as well and am keeping my fingers crossed for Oberlin.
Also, have they sent out most of their acceptances already?
