Oberlin RD 2021

@Bluejay21 that is good to know. All I know about Oberlin and Grinnell is that they are top LRCs located in Midwest and I don’t need to spend money to apply them. this is clear that my interest to the college is zero, but still, who knows what will happen

Sorry if this was already asked and answered, but does Oberlin update the portal and then send letters via mail (for US residents). Is it it just via mail?

From Oberlin today: “Decisions will be initially released through the portal and you will also receive an e-mail when your decision is ready to view. We will mail out decision letters shortly following the electronic release. We hope to release decisions electronically at the very end of this week.”

Thanks for posting this! I guess we find out Friday???

Do we know what time Friday?

@Bluejay21 Hey, I am from Bangladesh too! Not too many from our country apply to or know of Oberlin for some reason.

do you guys think that Oberlin is going to send a heads-up email before Friday or no?

D heard Thursday! So be on the lookout tomorrow, everyone!

@dramasopranomom was that last year? because thursday is today…

@dramasopranomom and if so do you remember what time? i’m gonna be refreshing my email all day

@outerspace9 Yes, today!!! But who knows??? And I have no idea of time! Perhaps at the end of their business day, as so often seems to happen?? We will be checking that portal and email all day, too!

Oops! I should clarify! We are waiting and hoping to hear today!!! D was told by a faculty member that decisions would be coming out today via email and the portal.

@dramasopranomom is she applying to arts and sciences or the conservatory or both?

@outerspace9 Conservatory only! How about you???

@dramasopranomom arts and sciences. might be different. good luck!

Just a guess but I think decisions will come out tmr at 3.

Has anybody heard anything directly from the College about decisions for Arts and Sciences? I have been checking today, but thinking it’s probably tomorrow afternoon

My daughter applied to the College of Arts and Sciences. She was told the other day by the admissions office: “We hope to release decisions electronically at the very end of this week.” I would assume that means tomorrow afternoon.

Good luck everyone! My daughter went through this in the ED1 round and I know it’s stressful. Our decision came out suddenly, with no warning and before the date listed on the website. Several others got theirs at the same time but then others didn’t hear for days after that - not sure why. I hope everyone hears good news soon!

Ugh! Well, maybe results were literally mailed yesterday (snail mail)??? Lolol! hoping and praying those portals are updated this afternoon!
