<p>Well,you have to remain positive.Your stats were definetely in the ballpark,and I can’t tell you why you were waitlisted.But ElizabethHouston(adcom) did say it was the most competitive year ever in Oberlin admissions,and they are aiming to under enroll this year(Which means they are likely to take more people off of the waitlist).So,do update them additional recs,achievements and perhaps a more polished’Why Oberlin’ essay.Try not to inundate them with stuff though.An e-mail with your essay+recs should do it.Show passion for Oberlin as far as you can.good luck.</p>
