<p>Does anyone on the Oberlin campus (or anyone else for that matter) have any knowledge of when the RD letters are being (or were) mailed?</p>
<p>i heard that the letters will be emailed as well......but dunno the dates !!!</p>
<p>By the way, did any of you recieve confirmation letters etc after you sent in your app? I never recieved anything else from Oberlin after I sent in my app so I"m getting worried - did they even recieve it?</p>
<p>I didn't get anything either, but I called a couple weeks back to make sure everything was in. A teacher rec was missing, so I had that faxed in.</p>
<p>i didnt get a letter saying that tehy received my app until like, 2 weeks ago. I had called a few weeks beforehand. See my other thread under oberlin for discussion of that.
btw, this is ridiculous, why on earth have they not sent us letters yet... you would think tehy would want us to be able to travel over easter/spring break...</p>
<p>well it IS suposed to be on april 1, no?
god i want my letter so badly. i'm desperately holding onto the fact that they sent me financial aid paper requests early this week, implying that they need ti because they want me to have aid since i'm in..yeah. well. a girl can dream.</p>
<p>got the decision....rejected.</p>
<p>I'm sorry, ahtsisab :(.</p>
<p>Did you get it by email? That really sucks.</p>
<p>i got an email...rejected on fin aid grounds !!</p>
<p>Really? That's awful! Did you need more than they were willing to give you?</p>
<p>That doesn't seem like a valid reason to me!</p>
<p>the exact amount were not specified !</p>
<p>this was what they said :</p>
<p>"I expect that our decision is a disappointment to you, Basistha. While Oberlin is able to fund a considerable number of international students each year, we simply do not have sufficient funds for all outstanding students who apply. The committee has decided to deny your application rather than admit you, knowing that we will not be able to provide financial aid sufficient for you to attend."</p>
<p>ahtsisab, really sorry abt that. dont worry, u will get in some better place. best wishes.</p>
<p>I emailed them, and they said that decisions would be sent "BY april 1st" (what is that?!) and that they don't do any sort of email decisions.</p>
<p>well, they seem to email international students. I know for sure atleast 2 friends of mine who have heard from Oberlin through email. 1 accepted, another rejected.</p>
<p>Yeah, int'ls should have already been emailed. I know two people, sane as you. One rejected, the other accepted.</p>
<p>But they told me that they sent out letters TODAY (Thurs). So regular decisions should be out soon!</p>
<p>can someone post rough stats of people who are getting accepted/rejected.. so i can get a ballpark idea of what im up against? I know its only four days or so till i find out, but I can't wait that long.</p>
<p>Someone started another thread for the stats. No one's posted in it yet, mainly because none of us got the notifications yet.</p>
<p>Arrgh? I haven't gotten any emails from Oberlin... :( (int'l here) This is not good.. Maybe they never got my app.</p>
<p>same here :(</p>
<p>hi guys,
i'm an intl rejected at Oberlin. Can somebody explain to me what it meansto be waitlisted? How do they notify you?
thanx</p>
