Jenna,
I don't know much about schools of music, but I know something about colleges. Can't you attend college for a year without being so serious about studying the oboe there? I mean, take the general requirement courses (English Comp., P.E., history, etc.) your freshman year while taking oboe lessons to prepare for the auditions in your sophomore year? Or don't they do it that way?
So many freshmen don't know what they want for a major until late in their sophomore year. Certainly there are talented musicians who do the same thing.
You have lots of time.
On the other hand, if you believe that you are very talented, go for it now. I suppose you can always try again next year if you aren't accepted, and people are usually impressed with determination. I like that old saying, "Your not a failure until you quit."
