Regular Decision
Dates marked announced come from the college itself, with the announcement linked. Dates marked expected rest on the evidence named right next to the date — that college's own release history or the timeline its admissions office publishes — and the label switches to announced only when the college says so.
Early Decision I
Early Decision I isn't announced yet — expect December 2026. Oberlin's first-year page promises Early Decision I notification by December 15, and decisions have been landing in mid-December.
Early Decision II
Early Decision II isn't announced yet — expect February 2027. Oberlin's first-year page promises Early Decision II notification by February 1.
Regular Decision
Regular Decision isn't announced yet — expect March 2027. Oberlin promises Regular Decision notification by April 1 and has been posting in the last week of March.
Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at connect.oberlin.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Oberlin admissions.
Oberlin frames all three of its dates as outside limits — notification by December 15, February 1, and April 1 — and in practice tends to post a little ahead of them.
