Am I the last one left?

Has anyone else in the continental US not yet heard from Oberlin? Have they only sent out acceptances and waitlists (and should I then steel myself for a rejection)? Any enlightenment would be welcome.

I checked yesterday and the day before. I live in Oberlin and haven’t heard anything. Neither have any of my friends here. History shows that they won’t be rejected (things like alumni relations, parents as faculty, town and gown obligations, good overall students etc…). I’ve already been accepted to Vassar, Wesleyan, and Grinnell, so it’s kind of odd. And I don’t exactly have the “I’m going to use them as a safety stats”: 3.7 GPA, 2180 SATs, 690/720 SAT IIs, and few/crappy ECs.

For what it’s worth, when I e-mailed the admissions representative, he said he had looked at my application and that I was in good shape. I would just wait it out. Not everyone knows yet.
