<p>I’m an international and rejected as well. Oberlin sucks! (I wish I believed that…)</p>
<p>I’m international, applied for financial aid and rejected as well…</p>
<p>At which hour did you get your decisions guys ?</p>
<p>I’m international…got waitlisted…</p>
<p>Am asking for a substantial amount of aid…could this have anything to do with that?</p>
<p>^^ Definitely. Schools that are need aware take into consideration that you need a lot of aid. So even if they really like you but you can’t pay anything, it will always be tough to gain admission.</p>
<p>Just woke up, still no email for me. I guess I’m waiting til Monday.</p>
<p>Me either. You think they can’t e-mail us today ? Normally the admission office is open on saturdays 9 am to 1 pm.
(lol, my posts really sound over-stressed)</p>
<p>International and accepted. :)</p>
<p>Good luck to those who haven’t received news from them yet.</p>
<p>eyevand, may I know which country are you from? do you apply for financial aid? thanks!</p>
<p>International, accepted with 10k/year scholarship. IDK if this includes financial aid or not but they made it clear it was MERIT.
and besides, we sent in our FA forms on monday… i doubt they’d have processed it by then.
WOOO!!! My parents aren’t too crazy about the school, but I hope that’s enough to convince them to let me go!</p>
<p>Has anyone received their emails like… recently? i.e today? within the past hour or two?</p>
<p>Havent you received yours yet?</p>
<p>Nope. GuiltyBystander and I are still waiting!</p>

<p>waitlisted :(</p>
<p>btw, does anyone know if and how my waitlist status will change if i intend to postpone/defer admission for a year?</p>
<p>For all of us still waiting for a decision, I have composed a special poem in the International Forum:</p>
<p>** Oberlin, oh Oberlin, how thee remind me of a summer’s day…
But please, I beg you, affirm my yay or nay. **</p>
<p>Oh, Berlin, Germany in Ohio,
Mistaken for Rivendell “or some other weirdest fantasy-ish place” by ignorant father My-o! </p>
<p>Oberlin, I know, the recession, now we are both poor,
But please, don’t make this day after failing maths (in GB terms, that is), even more sour.</p>
<p>I shall promise I will not procrastinate,
and for class; I will never be late. </p>
<p>I shall join quiz bowl and other clubs and try to win,
So please, **let me in **, otherwise, I won’t know what to begin!</p>
<p>Fin.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>lol you should send it :p.
I phoned for the third time (yeah I know I suck) today and apparently they will be sending other e-mails by the end of the week for those who didn’t send everything on time.</p>
<p>International and waitlisted. Applied for aid. :(</p>
