<p>aerialdreams… yes… we receive the letter as well, but it takes longer to reach you… This happens with Harvard too… =)</p>
<p>applied early december, beginning of alphabet, received email today</p>
<p>mywayalie!! Hi! I am an international applicant as well and I didn’t receive an e-mail… I wonder if the other internationals did???</p>
<p>I’m an international, and I’m the original poster…
I received it on 18th</p>
<p>(and no, I don’t have much hope…)</p>
<p>Maybe they are sending them out as the Accepted decisions are made!</p>
<p>cone, I’m from Brazil too!!! Yay!!!
You’re the 4th Brazilian I find here at CC!</p>
<p>Which city are you from?</p>
<p>What is the PIN they are talking about? I can’t remember ever using a PIN…</p>
<p>If you used the common application, you can find your pin on the supplement.</p>
<p>Then you can use it to create an account.</p>
<p>finally received email today…</p>
<p>still no. Maybe it is just completely random. Perhaps?</p>
<p>just got it about an hour ago. i’m very relieved.</p>
<p>the “random” theory sounds like the most plausible to me. but perhaps they are sending them out as decisions are made?</p>
<p>Everyone received them. It just peters through the system to different emails at different rates, and must be sent in batches.</p>
<p>As sensational as it is to think it means we’re all accepted, unfortunately, that cannot be so.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, best of luck to all of you! ;)</p>
<p>who said that it meant that we’re all accepted? my thought was that, upon deciding yes or no for a person’s application, regardless of outcome, they send that person the email.</p>
<p>the “peteres through the system” makes some sense, but not if the period is as prolonged as it has been. several hours, maybe. one week is much less likely.</p>
<p>Mm, sorry I misread it because people on previous pages were implying that the email meant that you got in.</p>
<p>Interesting hypothesis. Well, seven days to go.</p>
<p>Just came today.</p>
<p>uh oh I still didn’t receive it… I don’t have much chance of getting in anyway…</p>
<p>i just got the email an hour ago lol</p>
<p>Aww, don’t say that. Be optimistic! Who knows, next monday may be your lucky day.</p>
<p>Princeton intends to matriculate 1250 for the class 2012. If Princeton admits 1838 from the 2012 applicants pool of 21,261 the admission rate will be 8.65% and the matriculation rate will be 68%. That will be a great improvement from the class 2011s admission rate of 9.46% and match the yield rate to matriculate at 68%. This is the first year without early decision. It is very difficult to institute a new admission procedure. It is quite possible that on the first day that Princeton sent out the email; one may view it as the day that Princeton completed its early selection process. If this assumption holds true and lets use the number of early decision admitted from last year. The first batch announcement may include 600 admitted and the rest are rejected. This tread reported 22 received emails and 18 did not around the first batch of emails dispatched. If the numbers and the statistics remains the same, one may conclude that Princeton emailed 55% of the applicants in its first batch of emails. The 55% of applicants equals to 11,694 applicants. Here is the scenario for those received around March 18th: you have 600 to11,694 in possibility (1:200) of being admitted. For those received after March 18th, you have 1,238 to 9567 in possibility (1: 7.72) of being admitted.</p>
<p>correction 1:20 on the first batch received</p>
