Are legacy applicants in a separate pool?

<p>The thing is, I’m not hostile at all. I seriously have no connection with Princeton whatsoever and no ill-will against the place whatsoever. I just think that Princeton boosters go overboard. Like I said, that’s my experience from reading their posts on CC. I think in their zealotry they aren’t being as helpful as they could be.</p>

<p>I haven’t seen this trend kenf1234 is talking about.
I definitely don’t think Princeton can be isolated for its “zealotry”</p>

23

<p>I have…
I’m surprised you haven’t ivanadoeslimbo seeing as how…</p>

24

<p>I hope so because I am a ninth-generation legacy and I want to go to Princeton lol</p>

25

<p>You joke but…</p>

26

<p>I’m not joking…</p>

27

<p>Then you’re pretty much in.</p>

28

<p>I don’t understand what 08seniors08 meant by, “I’m surprised you haven’t ivanadoeslimbo seeing as how…”</p>

<p>Seeing as how… what?
Can somebody fill me in?</p>

<p>Ivanadoeslimbo-
Maybe because you said:</p>

<p>"I’m really excited to go to Princeton this fall and see how the Class of 2012 has turned out!</p>

<p>(Obviousy, it’s going to be pretty awesome…)"</p>

<p>I have no qualms with this post, but the fact that you posted it on the Wait-List thread where people are nervous (including 08seniors08) about getting in, seems sort of… mean, at the VERY least.
I’m surprised someone would do this…</p>

<p>I didn’t even think about it like that… People had just posted that they had gotten in off the waitlist, and I was just trying to feel friendly and welcoming.</p>

<p>I didn’t want anybody to feel left out of the class of 2012 because they got accepted later on in the game, so i was really just not thinking and wanted to be friendly.</p>

<p>ugh i feel like such an a**hole now.</p>

31

<p>oh and i meant the ‘it’s going to be pretty awesome’ thing in a way ‘it’s going to be pretty awesome because you’re now in it’ sort of way. GAHH i’m such a dip*****</p>

32

<p>I just randomly came to check out the Princeton forum. First I read the waitlist thread and then I read this one. I’m surprised that anybody interpreted ivanadoeslimbo’s waitlist post negatively; to me she just seems like an enthusiastic future student.</p>

<p>So Ivana…congratulations and don’t feel badly.</p>

33

<p>Yeah, don’t worry ivana, I never considered your post as negative in any way. :)</p>

34

<p>haha okay maybe I’m just being sensitive… but I think anyone on a wait list would be a little on edge now anyway.</p>

35

<p>^^ Yes, understandably so. Good luck.</p>
