<p>Just called admissions, letters will be sent out “sometime this week, probably in the next day or two.”</p>
<p>Thanks confusedcats :)</p>
<p>Getting antsy.</p>
<p>I need to know ASAP, since spring break is approaching and I need to schedule visit to Oberlin for D, if accepted. Oberlin is the last school on her list and I am just tired waiting.</p>
<p>My daughter got an acceptance email yesterday saying that she was part of a select group of outstanding students who have received their acceptance early in order to participate in the MVP ( Multicultural Visit Program). All expenses for the MVP program will be paid including airfare, ground transportation, accommodations and meals.</p>
<p>Waitlisted!</p>
<p>I’ve got to hand it to them. They were gentle about it.
“Your application has made a strong and favorable impression. If a space becomes available in the class of 2017, we would like to be able to consider you for it.”</p>
<p>Like all we need to consider you is someone else dropping off from the accepted list. They make it sound so simple.</p>
<p>“If we do have openings in the class, Wait List decisions will be made on a rolling basis beginning in early May. You can expect to hear from us between then and July 1st either offering you a place in the class or letting you know that the class is full and that we are unable to offer you a place.”</p>
<p>I’ll admit Oberlin was not one of my top 5 but it was one of those colleges I would’ve considered going to if they offered good financial aid. All the best to everyone, especially those who really really love Oberlin.</p>
<p>Wait, did you get it in the mail or was it an email? Lastly, which state are you in?</p>
<p>Oh man I wasn’t expecting Oberlin until tomorrow though…yikes 0.0</p>
<p>Azazel, I’m sorry to hear that you got waitlisted, but take comfort in the fact that you still have a foot in the door and I’m sure you’ll end up at another, if not better school :)</p>
<p>Thank you, ivyvision 
I wish the very same prospects to you too. Yes, you’re right. Knowing that there is still hope and a chance makes me feel better</p>
<p>I got the email just 20 minutes ago. It was included in it that a detailed letter is on its way via mail (the last letter I received from Oberlin took 9 days to be delivered). Also, I’m an international student.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone and remember to be gracious about your successes (and disappointments). Regular decision is tough and most of the good news comes early…</p>
<p>D just got the same email, waitlisted also. I agree, they phrased it nicely, although D isn’t sure if she’ll accept a place on the list as she’s happy with her current options. The emails came today (midnight our time) for international students, I assume. Although D is domestic, she studies overseas so she got on the email list. Hopefully the letters for the rest of you are on the way! I hope things work out for all of you, one way or the other.</p>
<p>Just finished talking to their Admission Office folks - the letters were mailed today…</p>
<p>Rejected :(</p>
<p>I am sorry to hear that IBinLux. Did you get the decision through mail?</p>
<p>Rejected again. What a pleasant surprise in the morning to get.</p>
<p>Condolences to all.</p>
<p>ibinlux, hard to feel too bad for you. an admittance to colby and a free tide to st. andrews!</p>
<p>@StaticRoar: I got an email last night.</p>
<p>@quietdesperation: I understand what you are saying, it’s just that I really liked Oberlin. Oh well… :)</p>
<p>I am an international student applying to Oberlin and have not yet received an email. Should I be worried? Since it seems that those that have already received their decisions by email are international students.</p>
<p>I’m an international student and I haven’t received an email either. But I think it’s because I live in US so they’re sending mine through snail mail.</p>
<p>No news in central IL today</p>
