<p>I heard each application is reviewed by 3 admission officers… If this is true, I think they’re doing too much work!</p>
<p>Good luck you guys! I can’t wait to see who is a fellow Eagle next year!</p>
<p>"Decisions for Early Decision I applicants will be available online through the OPUS system, and will be posted by 7:00 am Saturday, December 12. Decisions will remain posted until January 5, 2010. We will also mail decision letters on Saturday, December 12. Please note that all transfer application decisions will be mailed. "</p>

<p>thanks alot fomatix! that’s the info that we all probably wanted to hear. Now we just all need to get that acceptance :D</p>
<p>GOODLUCK EVERYONE!!!</p>
<p>Two more days!</p>
<p>I still haven’t gotten financial aid on my to-do list… Does that mean something? T_T</p>
<p><I never got any e-mail from Oxford about them releasing decisions this Saturday.</p>
<p>Should I be worried. ></p>
<p>Go on OPUS and see if your email registration is correct. If it is, then it’s in your email and you probably just missed it. If it’s correct and you didn’t get the email, then first go on freakin’ OPUS to check and if that doesn’t work contact the admissions office. </p>
<p>No, you shouldn’t be worried. They could’ve made the mistake themselves.</p>
<hr>
<p>The wait is killing me. Especially because I’m a test-case applicant.</p>
<p>melin,
Not to sound prying, but what’s a test case applicant?</p>
<p><not to=“” sound=“” prying,=“” but=“” what’s=“” a=“” test=“” case=“” applicant?=“”> It means you’re too different from the rest of the applicants, but have a lot of strenghs to your advantage as well as weaknesses. You stand out way too much in the applicant pool but the problem is that you could either be on the good or bad side.</not></p>
<p>One example would be that Harvard acceptee…</p>
<p>He moved to the US during high school and screwed up in a lot of his classes (because he couldn’t speak english), to the point that he had to make up classes at his local community college. The Harvard admissions of course saw that his academics was weak, not that it’s really his fault. </p>
<p>He, however, came to the US for only 1.5 years and was admitted into Harvard despite all his weaknesses.</p>
<p>His strengh was that he became a national champion in a physics competition (in english!!) and went up against all odds and still scored very high on the SAT despite his english problems.</p>
<p>Of course, the colleges could still reject him because even people with impecabble grades, scores, and awards get slashed. </p>
<p>But he didn’t, because he was way too different from the rest of the pool. The admissions office doesn’t see someone like this everyday so he becomes a “test-case.” Yeah, sure, he got in Harvard, but his language and weak academic background in high school might screw him over when he studies at Harvard. You see, you don’t really if he’ll do well at Harvard or not with his type of academic background, but since he beat the odds, they give him a chance. He becomes a test-case because he is unique.</p>
<p>I think I should’ve used the term “risk applicant” instead of “test-case.” </p>
<p>I just hope I’m not on the bad side…</p>
<p>Any application to anywhere is a risk application, IMO. I’ve seen perfect 4.0/2390 students get dropped in favor for 3.7/1900 students at a lot of schools.</p>
<p>Well over here on the west coast, decision is coming around 4AM… gonna be staying up Friday night, I guess.</p>
<p>^ I think he meant for the school, not the applicant.</p>
<p><i’ve seen=“” perfect=“” 4.0=“” 2390=“” students=“” get=“” dropped=“” in=“” favor=“” for=“” 3.7=“” 1900=“” at=“” a=“” lot=“” of=“” schools.=“”></i’ve></p>
<p>I don’t think those students stood out that much in the application pool like that Harvard student.</p>
<p>And, after your post, I would like to drop my “risk applicant” and replace it with “test case.” It’s causing more misconceptions than helping…</p>
<hr>
<p>That last example was crazy 'cause it shows that Harvard doesn’t just trash your application after looking at your GPA no matter how bad they are. Unlike some schools…</p>
<p>i applied ed
just a couple more days!</p>
<p>One part of the website says this:</p>
<p>Early Decision Plan I
Application Deadline: November 1 *
Notification Date:
December 15
Deposit Deadline: January 15 *
</p>
<p>And another says this:
Decisions for Early Decision I applicants will be available online through the OPUS system, and will be posted by 8:00 am EST on Saturday, December 12. </p>
<p>Is one emory and one oxford? or did they change it to the 12th</p>
<p>According to the website, there were around 700 applicants for ED1 this year. Is that an increase or decrease compared to last year’s?</p>
<p>Also, I heard Emory is currently building a new freshmen dorm which will accommodate 300 students. It will be completed in April, so you guys think Emory is gonna accept more students this year?</p>
<p>just got the email…guess it was changed to the 12th
wow thats soon
we will know in a day and a half!</p>
<p>Really? ^^
Only 700 students?
I assumed it was so much more because of Emory’s college board profile.</p>
<p>[College</a> Search - Emory University - Admission](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board)</p>
<p>Plan(s) available:</p>
<pre><code>* Early decision
- Number of early decision applications received: 1,904
- Number admitted under early decision plan: 490
</code></pre>
<p>That could be EDI + ED2?</p>
<p>Anybody know how many Oxford’s getting for EA?</p>
<p>that is ED1 + ED2, I remember when they said that on my tour</p>
