Thanks for replying, JHS.

It’s hard for me to see myself fitting in at Wesleyan or Oberlin. I’m not the party type, so while I appreciate the intellectual vibe, I’d rather not be around, frankly, a bunch of people passing around drugs. Though your reasoning is good, I feel that if I try to follow it, I’m only convincing myself to go, and that really goes against my gut. Apparently, most transfer applicants regret their decisions because they tried to convince themselves that their schools were right for them. I don’t want to go through that.

Also, there isn’t much time for me to do the research I need to to figure out whether other schools would merit a spot on my “early” list… Really, I would need to tour to determine this, and I don’t think I can squeeze any others in between now and my list finalization date (November 5th).
