Think one person can change the world?
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.
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.

Anonymous asked:
Are the decisions just mailed? or are the emailed too?
If you applied regular decision, you will receive a decision by mail. If you are an international student, you will receive an email first, but a paper letter will be sent to you as well.

Today is all about the postal service! I visited the admissions office, where I bounced on a stack of letters, waved to a mail truck, and ate peanut butter cup ice cream. What a beautiful day.
Okay, all you anxious applicants: Albus just waved goodbye to the mail truck! The letters are on their way!
As you get your letters, we’d love to see your “excited envelope” faces! Take a photo, tag it with #oberlin 2016, and we’ll reblog it :D
so I’m sitting in my kitchen and my mom hands me this big pile of mail from colleges and is like ‘yo do you want any of these you should go through them’
so I start picking out schools that I’ve heard of and then I realize that some of these envelopes have the most ridiculous, over-dramatic sayings on them, so I start going through the pile again reading them in funny voices.
and so I get to this one and I’m like yes, lots of words, time to be dramatic
so I start reading ‘college’ and ‘convention’ and then I spin it and I look up and the next phrase i see is
‘womb chairs’
and I just burst out laughing I have been crying from laughing so hard for the last 20 minutes WHY DOES IT SAY WOMB CHAIRS ON THIS ENVELOPE
it also says albino squirrels on the other side
I’m going to send back the enclosed ‘get on our mailing list form’ and tell them I’m interested in their womb chairs and albino squirrels.
Fact: if you choose to apply here, the optional checkboxes on the common app to let us know why you applied here does include womb chairs and albino squirrels as reasons.
(If you like albino squirrels and want to see one adventuring around Oberlin, you should meet Albus.)

The admissions office gave me this very comfortable box to sit in while helping them open letters today.
Dear italicsmine,
Ah, those walks in Wilder Bowl, the shared Decafe smoothies, the long study hours in Mudd… we remember them fondly too.
(We think a small infatuation with us is completely acceptable. We may have a bit of a crush on you, too.)
Love,
Oberlin
Dear comme-un-enfant,

P.S. Dear everyone: send us fan mail and we’ll publish it. ♥
