Think one person can change the world?
Never been on an Oberlin campus tour? Sometimes it feels like this.

Do you guys think you'll be pulling off the waitlist this year?
Word from the admissions office: it’s still too early to know. They’re only beginning to get an idea of next year’s final class shape and size, as the postmarked deadline for sending in deposits was May 1st.
So, as terribly vague a word as “soon” is, that’s what we know right now.

Woah.
My mom just gave me all of my mail from the weekend, and I got this huge envelope from a conservatory in Ohio. Like, It’s huge.
But what was inside?! We’re in such suspense.
Oh man! It’s not an acceptance or denial letter if that’s what you’re asking. Auditions for me are next year, but it was a big letter and a giant poster telling me about your school. I’m definitely going to look into it!
You should! And let us know if you have any questions or need recommendations of things to do if you come into town for auditions. (Also, we like posters and postcards almost as much as we like acceptance letters.)
6/8
Accepted to Oberlin, with a $12,000 per year scholarship!
Third time’s a charm, so we say CONGRATULATIONS again.

Hey! I got a letter from Oberlin today, saying that I was put on the admission waitlist. From past years, how many people have been admitted from the waitlist? Oberlin was my first choice, and I want to know if I should still have hope for being admitted. Thank you! :)
Can’t say yet for sure (nor will anyone until at least May 1st) but Elizabeth Houston ‘06 wrote two Oberlin blog posts in the past, one about last year’s waitlist (though, to be noted, the waitlist situation is different every year, so take that post with a grain of salt) and one filled with waitlist FAQs.
All Oberlin bloggers receive emails when a new comment is posted, so if you have specific questions about Oberlin (waitlist or otherwise), a blog post is a great place to ask (and if you wish for a private response, input your email address into the comment box; it won’t be published but it will allow the blogger to get in touch with you directly).

I got a little card from the person I interviewed with at Oberlin, saying it was great to talk with me and all that. I know it’s probably standard and such, but I still put it on my wall.
Yayyy postcards. (We do like pretty things we can send in the mail.)

Were the conservatory decisions mailed on Friday or just the college decisions?
According to the director of conservatory admissions, the conservatory letters were heading out today. If you are an international student, you will be receiving an email with your decision early this week in addition to a letter.

I think this is a very good hat for a Yeoman. What do you think?
Albus starts off our #oberlin 2016 photos with his “excited envelope” face! If you’ve been accepted to the class of 2016, we’d love to see your smiley face (and reblog it)!. Just tag your GPOY with #oberlin 2016 and we’ll find it.

when are decisions out?
The letters were sent on Friday afternoon! Albus and everyone waved to the truck together, and then we ate some ice cream to celebrate our new class. Albus has peanut butter moosetracks, and I had mint chocolate chip.
All students are notified by paper mail. If you are an international student, your decision will be emailed to you as well so you get a prompt response and you will also receive a letter.
