<p>then I hope people who still haven’t received it yet have 1:1.1 rate of being admitted LOL</p>
<p>If my theory holds true, those received today and later has higher possibility of being admitted and/or wait-listed. The later that one receives email would have higher possibility of at least getting on wait-list and not being rejected. let me know next Monday!</p>
<p>oh please don’t dampen the hopes of people who received it on the first day D: (me included) I believe that the emails have more to do with whether the admission officer is quick or not.</p>
<p>I still haven’t gotten it and I live in Philadelphia… agh</p>
<p>Personally, I don’t think there’s any pattern to it. They got read of early decision, so why, from the regular pool, would they pull a mini-ED? It makes no sense. More likely, they’re just sending them en masse and you get them when you get them.</p>
<p>speaking of which, I finally got mine. what a beautiful moment. :*)
it will be interesting to see the results in correlation to getting the email, as well as with the whole PFAA thing…</p>
<p>I completely agree with tintin; everyone will receive their decisions on March 31 via the Princeton site whether they get accepted or rejected. The email is merely a letter of instruction to access a common site with common entrance instructions. It does not matter if they already made the decision or not for your particular at this point–the Princeton admissions staff can still mail a letter of instructions whether or not your application is finished. In my personal opinion, people receiving the email do not have a leg-up or a leg…down.</p>
<p>aliu ur #s are flawed, some ppl that did not recieve are not posting that they did not receive emails waiting untill they do receive one to post (like me)</p>
<p>I got one today</p>
<p>very interesting aliu. i hope that you are right!</p>
<p>I’m in the midwest, and have still received nothing!</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten any emails from Princeton since the email notifying me that they have received my application. Nothing for an interview, nothing for notification, nada.</p>
<p>" some ppl that did not recieve are not posting that they did not receive emails waiting untill they do receive one to post (like me)"</p>
<p>Very interesting observation as all people who reported rceiving the e-mail today haven’t appeared in this thread before.</p>
<p>While everyone has interesting and highly thought-out theories, I must tell you that I really think that it’s by region or admissions rep. All three people at my school that applied to Princeton got their emails today, and I highly doubt that all three of us are admitted (and hopefully all three won’t get denied!).</p>
<p>hey agldro
eu sou de joa</p>
<p>I still didn’t get that email, the last email I received from Princeton came in February telling me that my application is complete (apart from an email telling me that I registered for their online services at the beginning of March). Strange thing. Btw, I’m from Europe.</p>
<p>Sorry, in my #151 post, I missed Theprez who did appear before.</p>
<p>tlewet22: your theory is a plausible one. Care to tell where you are located (region)?</p>
<p>I think that the email simply means they are done reviewing your application.</p>
<p>“Very interesting observation as all people who reported rceiving the e-mail today haven’t appeared in this thread before.”</p>
<p>ahem.</p>
<p>i agree with singermom1.</p>
<p>I hope that we can all agree that the selection of 1838 to be admitted from a well qualified applicants of 21261 is a complicate task and require well organized procedures. Princeton must rely on its experience accumulated from the past. There must be a tracking protocol and filing system established n order to screen, process, selection, and notification. My assumption is based on the time-differed emails received in this thread. We are all speculating, why there are differences in receiving the emails? If you agree that Princeton must track the entire screening, processing, selecting, and notifying in a controlled manner, there must be something for them to track on the numbers have been admitted, rejected, remain to be finalized and eventually the wait-listed and it is logical that sending out an email may be part of the steps in closing an applications. I simply present you an observation from the numbers reported around the first batch of 40. That is quite a small sample. I wish the numbers reported could be larger. However, the small number of 40 in the evaluation sample still may produce the probability of 1 to 20 and 1 to 7.72 with an margin of error of 15%. <a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margin_of_error[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margin_of_error</a></p>
<p>Professor101: I’m in Texas.</p>
<p>lol are you in AP stat this year and just trying to get us to go on more goosechases?</p>
