The Waitlist!

[Plainsman]

<p>

Oberlin left a message for my S at the end of the day today, saying they had some “news” and to call tomorrow. Sounds like–could it be–the waitlist decisions have begun? S was denied at Wesleyan, Vassar and Carleton, but Oberlin was in his top 4! He was accepted at Occidental and waitlisted at Macalester and Colorado College as well…S sent in a statement to Oberlin last week, with some updates, saying why Oberlin was his first choice.

<p>Is that true? It doesn’t sound like Oberlin really was his first choice, that it was only in his “top 4.” </p>

<p>In any event, good luck to your son.</p>
