Sorry I wasn’t finished. I just wondered if anyone had the same experience or had any insight as to if we still have a fighting chance at acceptance. The semester is nearly over and she continues to stay extremely active, she also works part-time. She’s a mover and a shaker and we thought it was a perfect fit. I don’t see a lot changing by spring. We can get another reference, and she will express her continued interest but were just not sure what deferrel means if it’s just a polite no. Does anyone know acceptance rates for Oberlin Arts and Science College for those who have been deferred? I should also add she is also applying at the Oberlin conservatory and wanted to pursue a double degree. I’m not sure if this fact would have affected the decision. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Sorry to ramble it’s hard, we were waiting for decision day tomorrow and the email came early.
