<p>has anybody received a letter?</p>

3

<p>Nope but it’s e-mail I think, and today is only for intl normally.
I just phoned and they say it will be this evening though they don’t know at which hour.</p>

4

<p>Constantly refreshing my inbox!</p>

5

<p>I received the email! Accepted !!</p>

6

<p>Congratulations! That is amazing! </p>

<p>I haven’t heard yet! Probably will hear later (or am in the rejected bunch most likely :p). </p>

<p>Edit: Nevermind, I remember reading you are from Chile.</p>

7

<p>Congratulations jamie!!!</p>

<p>@GuiltyBystander, portuguesesninja: thanks a lot! You are correct - as a non- U.S resident, I received my decision through e-mail. I’m expecting a formal acceptance letter. Oberlin never disappoints me; its email contains small elements of my essays, which makes it really personal. I hope you guys all get accepted!</p>

9

<p>Seriously! Wow! that sounds amazing! </p>

<p>I really want an acceptance letter too :(</p>

<p>Hello there Gods of Oberlin, if you are reading this, … PLEASE?! :smiley:
I am the weird dutch girl with the bicycle essay, hint hint. </p>

<p>Anyway, amazing accomplishment Jamie!</p>

<p>EDIT: I shouldn’t have mentioned how I can’t sing in my Why Oberlin essay XD.</p>

10

<p>So glad a fellow international is in :smiley: :smiley: CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!!! YAY!!!</p>

<p>GB - Can we hold hands and pray to the Gods of Oberlin together?!</p>

11

<p>Sure PN, although it might take a couple of days in my case - only got my financial aid forms in two weeks ago, because of certain family members not filling in their forms (!!!). ANYWAY - Good luck to you Porty! Have you heard from any of your other schools yet?
Otherwise you have a rough start with one of your first choices… Same here. </p>

<p>Why oh why not a stupid safety school or a school I regret applying to as the first one to let me know?</p>

12

<p>Nope this will be my first!! It seems that Mount Holyoke are sending their decisions tonight too. And then in a few hours I have UChicago. So yeah… tonight is a bit insane! My financial aid forms were a bit late too… but I’m keeping my fingers crossed us both!!</p>

13

<p>thanks guys! I’ll pray for you two, too!</p>

<p>At times the corniest of Jazz seems to work quite soothing: [YouTube</a> - The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five (1961)](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwNrmYRiX_o]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwNrmYRiX_o) Here you go. </p>

<p>I am doing partial integrals and listening to jukebox jazz on a Friday night. Oh, how much I love test week. </p>

<p>I am always keeping my fingers crossed for you PN! Also for Chicago and Holyoke. </p>

<p>EDIT: And thank you Jamie :slight_smile: Do you plan to matriculate at Oberlin?</p>

15

<p>Jamie, if you don’t mind, would you possibly post your stats? I am curious.</p>

<p>And hey bassplayer, have you heard anything yet??</p>

16

<p>Yes yes! Stats please! :smiley:
I will post mine too when I get my decision, I have even filled in the form aready out of excitement and procrastination.</p>

17

<p>Nope portugeseninja, and you ?</p>

18

<p>Nope me neither! Going to go to bed now, hopefully it’ll come this weekend or Monday. Goodnight!</p>

19

<p>lol OK, I PM you if I am still awake when they come out !
Good night to you too.</p>

<p>i’m an international, rejected, and crushed.</p>

<p>I’m guessing it’s because I applied for full aid…
0-1 so far. 8 more to come, but because most of them are schools with higher ranks I am really freaking out.</p>
