Anyone Applying Early

<p>Is anyone else applying early to Oberlin? Let's commiserate together!</p>

<p>Aww, I applied early last year and it was good times :) Good luck with the application! And if you have any last-minute questions, feel free to send me a PM or an e-mail.</p>

<p>I'm applying EDI. International & need of aid.</p>

<p>No one? Let's hope that we're the only two applicants.</p>

<p>Are the ED deadlines post-marked.
can somebody tell me.
otherwise i am in serious trouble.</p>

<p>yes, everything must be postmarked by nov. 15th.</p>

<p>I think I might apply EDII, because I only decided for sure a week ago that Oberlin was my top pick.</p>

<p>I just submitted my applications. Wish me luck!
@goldenratiophi: It's your choice, but if you decide not to apply EDI, you lose your chance of applying anywhere else on EDII in case you didn't get in through EDI. I'm sure you know of that already, but just in case-- I didn't realize it until somebody told me.
And don't get too frustrated about Why Oberlin essay... Why essays are generally less counted than your main essay. It's good if you spend a lot of time on it, but make any super important decisions just because of it.</p>

<p>Make any super important decisions
->DON'T Make any super important decisions</p>

<p>I applied Early Decision I. Ahhh, the wait is killing me. I'm so nervous! I can't picture myself going anywhere else.</p>

<p>Me too. I hanged around the Oberlin website and Livejournal for such a long time that I sometimes feel attached to these people. It sounds wierd, but I can't get it out of my mind... It would be a sad departure when bad news arrives.</p>

<p>I know what you mean. I've been looking at the Oberlin facebook group for the class of 2012. I hope I'll be able to join for the class of 2013!</p>

<p>Two weeks of waiting to go...</p>

<p>I'm getting so nervous!</p>

<p>i am geting nervous too.
btw does oberlin send the decisions by mail only or do they also send an e-mail? if they send by mail then i'll have to wait 5-10 more days after dec15 to see the result.</p>

<p>You're from Nepal, right? If you're an international applicant you'll get an E-mail.</p>

<p>yeah, i am from nepal. thanks for the info.</p>

<p>Hey everyone!
I applied ED and am counting down the days with fingers crossed. These posts have made me feel so much better--I thought I was such a dork looking at everything online prematurely, but it's good to know I'm not the only one going a little nuts. I think it's impossible not to. Or maybe that's just what all insane people think. Either way, I'm a certified Obie expert at this point, so as much as I buy into the whole 'you'll end up where you're supposed to be' motto I don't know what I'm going to do with the alternate of "jake brody huffs mad dong' I've already made up. Good luck everyone, hopefully I'll be seeing you all around campus not too long from now!</p>

<p>hey! haha, I feel the exact same way, I know Oberlin so well (stalked Oberwiki, of course, and also the photos of my friends who attend) and I can't imagine not going there. Good luck, I hope we are all accepted!</p>
