<p>“…maybe Oberlin only does this with boarding school/private school kids as part of their relationship with the school …”</p>
<p>I doubt it. True, D1 was in a private school when she got the letter, but as far as I could tell Oberlin had no relationship with the school whatsoever. Oberlin didn’t visit there, and only two kids had attended Oberlin in the four previous years. The school was anything but a “feeder”.</p>
