<p>I emailed Oberlin to see if my app was complete, and they told me that they mailed decision letters this afternoon (Thursday) so look for it in the mail Saturday/Monday or so.</p>
<p>You can just say the decision here and include stats if you want. Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Good luck to you, too, wolfstarslasher! We'll all be keeping our fingers crossed!</p>
<p>Hot diggity! This is the letter I've been waiting the most for. I got into NYU GSP, rejected from Denison U, and now I'm waiting to hear about oberlin. I love this school, and the swim coaches have been awesome to me. I've got a good feeling about this.</p>
<p>Accepted, my stats are on *******, user bogororo.</p>
<p>bogororo, because I'm also from Romania, I wanted to ask u how and when did you find out the decision from Oberlin? I applied RD and i didn't receive anything yet...</p>
<p>my stats are on P R S T A T S :D. I've gotten the decision on tuesday, but I have no idea wether they sent the e-mails as they reached the decisions or if they sent them all at once.</p>

<p>I have NO IDEA how I managed to get that scholarship. I was psyched to get it, but unfortunately it's the only financial aid I'm getting from Oberlin (my EFC was very high) aside from an unsubsidized federal loan for ~$2,000.</p>
<p>Accepted
Stats: 4.2 GPA, Top 10%
ECs: CSF, Key Club, Track, Wrestling, Started own tutoring program, hopsital volunteer, teen council, young democrats</p>
<p>Plus got 22,000/per year(14,000 Grant, 8,000 Merit-Based Scholarship)</p>
<p>I got accepted today. They gave me $15,500/year grant and some small loans. My EFC was pretty high. I'm gonna have to apply for a federal PLUS loan or something. I've still got like 20,000/year to cover. No merit aid, Oberlin was really a reach for me. 3.9w/3.6uw like 130/950 class rank. 1280 SAT.</p>
<p>Wait-listed and so upset about it. 4.6w/3.8uw, 4/366, 1210 SAT, 730Wr/600US/570Sp, 29 ACT, very strong EC's, great recs. Ugh, yeah, I know my test scores aren't great, but I thought my ec's, recs, and GPA would balance that out. :-(</p>
<p>Did anybody get the John Frederick Oberlin Scholarship?, they gave me that and a 14,000 grant, loan for a total package of 29,000</p>
<p>for those who got merit money...what were your stats?</p>
<p>I got the John F. Oberlin too... is it really merit based, or just another name for a grant?... curious if I should have it announced at graduatoin... 12k a year, plus about 8k in "grants" and 6k in loan/work study... not bad.
If the John F. Oberlin is merit based, here are my stats (i didnt think they were scholarship caliber, but hey)
33 ACT
4 semester B's all through high school (3 in math subjects, 1 in history)....
5 AP classes
ed-in-chief of newspaper, school P.A. announcer/event emcee... plenty other things I do
from San Francisco</p>
<p>The JFO is Oberlin's most prestigious scholarship. It's a really big deal.</p>
<p>Mine says that I got the John F. Oberlin Scholarship, but it's only for $5,000 a year, not $15,000. Is there more than one version?</p>
