<p>Hey there! I'm just wondering if anyone out there has been accepted off of the waitlist yet. Have you been sending them more things of yours, like second semester grades and whatnot?</p>
<p>I haven't heard a peep from them personally; I sent a letter praising the school, why I love it etc, followed by a packet with a couple more recommendations and a record of my volunteer hours.</p>
<p>Oh, and what school did you accept admission to in the meantime? I picked Hampshire myself and am very excited; I'm not really worried about Oberlin accepting me at this point, although it'd be nice.</p>
<p>It didn't close a month ago, they were only starting then. My D got a phone message left at our home, I think on May 14th, after she had left on a 3 week trip overseas. I called on Monday the 16th to ask about whether I could have some time to track her down and respond. They said sure and indicated that they had only started contacting students a few days before they called her and were willing to give me some time to get back because of that. The written materials came a few days later. Eventually, after agonizing about it a couple of days, she decided not to accept.</p>
<p>They may have finished since then or may be getting toward the end, I really don't know, but their class certainly was not complete a month ago.</p>
<p>interesting........... our GC said, on a May 11th e-mail, that she had spoken to the Oberlin admissions office and they reported that they weren't even going to their wait list this year because they had had so many applications.
Hmmmm....Maybe it was just our HS because so many students from here applied and got accepted.....don't know...</p>
