RD Oberlin College Class of 2017

<p>So it’s definitely in the mail?</p>

<p>(I cannot stop refreshing this page–it’s like I think that refreshing will make the letter come faster.)</p>

<p>My D received the letter today. We live only one hour away. She was accepted with an $18k scholarship. Nice, but we wont be able to swing the remaining $41k. Best luck to all that applied.</p>

<p>Does everyone’s status under academic progress in presto say “satisfactory”?</p>

<p>Or more importantly, windsurferie, did your D’s portal change in any way given that she was accepted?</p>

<p>It does say ‘Satisfactory for Fall 2013’. But nothing else is new there.</p>

<p>I checked Presto. Academic progress under fincial aid status for 2013/14 says satisfactory. More importantly perhaps is that it shows the financial aid that was awarded and specified in the letter. There is also a tab that is titled accept award offer. I did not dare touch that one. You have to look under Student Services & Financial Aid, then select Financial Aid Status.</p>

<p>In addition I clicked on Award, Award for Aid Year and Award Overview and found total cost of attendance ($61607) and the details of the aid offer including scholarships and loans. Good luck!</p>

<p>Windsurferie - congrats on your acceptance! I don’t see fa award - only COA and everything else is disabled. I guess will just have to wait for the letter.</p>

<p>Yea I’m not seeing any fin aid breakdown, so I guess that doesn’t bode well for me lol.</p>

<p>I was not aware Oberlin had an admissions portal in Presto. When and how did they inform applicants of this?</p>

<p>You should have gotten an email in late January/early February with the link to PRESTO and your T number (a 10 character user ID given by Oberlin). It’s not really an admissions portal as much as it is a financial aid status portal. </p>

<p>Your admission decision won’t be on it, just the detailed fin aid award and other fin aid based info, as mentioned by Windsurferie.</p>

<p>mine has total cost of attendance but nothing about fin aid or award. guessing that bodes badly? it’s been a bad day all around. :(</p>

<p>We haven’t received anything yet in MA, but there is definitely movement on the portal. On the admissions page from “students and financial aid” it used to just have info that he applied,but now the page is empty. So I’m hoping that means they’re uploading things…and not that he didn’t get in, lol. Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Yea my admission page is blank as well, change is good right lol why change the portal of a rejected applicant. Or so goes my reasoning. Side note, a cursory google search on Satisfactory Academic Progress at Oberlin, provides a link to an Oberlin page which reads: </p>

<p>“The Office of Financial Aid reviews satisfactory academic progress for all students receiving financial aid at the end of the fall semester.”</p>

<p>There’s a financial aid award on my Presto!! :open_mouth: And my admissions page is blank as well.</p>

<p>Rejected :(</p>

<p>Still no letter in Seattle, and we seem to have never received Presto info. This doesn’t bode well, does it? Other great choices but this is the last of them and it would be nice to know…</p>

<p>I hear you raincat…same for us! I wouldn’t worry too much about not getting the presto info, probably just got lost. Good luck!</p>

<p>nothing today in IL</p>

<p>As long as you know the applicant’s Oberlin ID, you can register with Presto. I don’t have the paperwork with me, so I don’t remember where we got the Oberlin ID in the first place. But it is a T followed by a bunch of digits. Once you have the ID number, visit the link below:</p>
