<p>they sent out the Early Decision Two decisions at least 2 weeks earlier. I got my response 3 weeks after i sent my app in. Mayb the admissions committee is like rediculously quick this year? Maybe they have fewer applicants? Who knows, but congrats to everyone</p>
<p>i definitely applied RD..my application was in the mail Nov. 30th and i think Oberlin got in the first or second week in Dec...i dunno about that statement about Oberlin not admitting RD candidates, but i have an acceptance letter and my preliminary financial aid statement already...i thought it was pretty quick too.. i thought i'd receive my letter in april (around the same time i'm expecting my Northwestern and Cornell letters)..i definitely didn't think they'd come to a decision this soon</p>
<p>haha seems like things are all messed up huh? anyway, r u going to Oberlin? would you choose it over Cornell, if admitted? :D (just curious...and i think u really should go for Oberlin ^^)</p>
<p>Well, I'm really confused... You did send your app early. Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS!!! :D :D I think Oberlin is C-O-O-L!!!!!</p>
<p>I applied Regualr For Sure..and I just got in too....with a 14 K a year scholarship</p>
<p>I am fairly certain this must be a mistake....I wasn't even sure I'd get it and now if February I found out..with a scholarship? I am so grateful, but at the same time, thinking it could be a mistake</p>
<p>God, i hope it's not a mistake..Oberlin gave me a sizable amount of money too in my financial aid package..i was totally shocked..</p>
<p>..and to address the earlier question, i'm completely undecided about where i'm going...my first choice is Cornell (doubt i'll be accepted) but i like Oberlin too..for me the deciding factor will be my financial aid packages</p>
<p>as far as i know Oberlin does not offer any merit or althetic scholarship, you must mean "grant", right? :D
anyway, congrats guys :) hope to see you in the fall.</p>
<p>I think Oberlin does offer some merit scholarships. There are like two of them, but I'm not sure.</p>
<p>When you guys got your financial aid stuff, did you mean $14K like, total financial aid? Or $14K grant? Because I got like an $8k grant, but the rest of it is like actual financial aid, like loans and stuff.</p>
<p>a large portion of my package was grant and scholarship and a little bit of loan and an ohio grant (since i'm from ohio)..i'm totally surprised about my package...i so wasn't expecting it</p>
<p>grr I got an email today saying that oberlin is still deciding on my application and that they will mail out a decision in late march. I have a feeling it may have to do with the fact that I applied as a double degree student and my audition is coming up on friday.</p>
<p>I got one of those emails too. In the 10 seconds it took to load the email I got really nervous!</p>
<p>lol i got the same email, wow whats going on?!?! ><</p>
<p>same here + full ride but i decided to go with kenyon.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when they will notify RD candidates?</p>
<p>i guess Oberlin's been mailing em out since Feb, but the deadline for them to notify us is April 1 (so ull get it by April 7th hopefully)</p>
<p>just got the acceptance packet with a 20k scholarship for RD. wasn't expecting it so soon though...</p>
<p>This is the month from Hell.</p>
<p>argh the agony of waiting on oberlin's decision......</p>
<p>I'm hoping the reason i haven't heard yet is because they lost my teacher recommendations and I just had my audition for the conservatory (I'm a double degree applicant). But it's making me nervous. If I hadn't already heard from Williams, I think I'd be a complete wreck.</p>
<p>i'm feeling the hell too you guys..even tho i got into Oberlin...i'm kinda leaning to the two schools i haven't heard from yet...don't get me wrong Oberlin's academics are amazing and it's not like i'll be utterly miserable if i end up going there..it's just the location...i've lived in Ohio all my life and i haven't traveled much at all and i'm really aching to go outta state for the new experience of being somewhere completely different..this saddens me a bit because i feel like i'm definitely going to get rejected by these 2 schools...in a way i think of college as totally starting over and being more of myself (which i can't really do in high school cuz i'm surrounded by very judgemental ppl)...i dunno, maybe i'm just venting my neurosis or overthinking the situation...is anyone finding themselves in this same predicament?</p>
