Olin的Deadline又推迟了一周，抓紧啊！

根据可靠消息：Washington University的Olin 申请First Round人数下降, it's good opportunity for many applicants who are interested in this school.

证据1：偶在该校的朋友，二年级。

证据2：偶收到一封信，从该信内容可以推测，该校第一轮人数比预料的要少。相信很多人都收到这封信了：

I was just looking at the applications In Progress on Embark's site and
it looks like you're almost to the halfway point of the application.

We're anticipating a high number of applications for our second
deadline in January. If you'd like to receive an earlier decision in January
and can submit your application (online, transcripts and any
recommendations not submitted online) within the next week without feeling rushed,
let me know and I'd be happy to include you in the first deadline
applications which will receive a January (23rd or before) decision. If
you're concerned about getting transcripts/recommendation in, fax/email
unofficial materials are fine for us to start the review process.

Whether you apply now or wait until January (or after) has no bearing
on the decision. The offer to provide you with an earlier decision is
two-fold: a) it will help balance our load to review a few more
applications a little earlier, and b) it offers you the choice to receive an
earlier decision if you'd like.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Gina :-)

I think that people who are still hesitating should make quikc decision to apply to Olin now so that they will be able to catch the deadline of Jan. 9, 2004.  It's really a good opportunity.

Washington University was ranked as the 10th best university in U.S.A. by U.S. News & Report.  It is traditionally a very prestigious school.

Olin school is an excellent program with a top-notch undergraduate program and a top 20 MBA program.

Number of applicants this year are taking a dip.  Many schools reported that they received fewer applications than last year in the first and second rounds.  Those who have insider information please share with us as early as possible.  It'll be very important for those who were dinged and are eager to find good targets.

do they still provide loan to interational students who can not find cosigners?
I notice this loan option has been removed from their web site.

shunzhen真是热心肠。

其实偶一直觉得这个学校很不错，自己一直在准备申请，除了一封在线推荐信，所有资料都寄过去了。但是现在由于很可能被别的学校录取，所以放弃了Olin，不然偶还要求人写最后一封推荐信。

觉得半途而废很对不起jan snow，有义务把这个好学校拉出来让大家了解一下形式。偶做事一向追求稳妥，这是偶研究了很久的一个学校，所以消息很可靠。

Olin的Deadline又推迟了一周，抓紧啊！
