<p>just wondering, is Princeton even possible for me? i think i’m applying there more out of “let’s just see what happens” than a “i might actually get in” attitude. but if i did get in, that would be flamazing and i’d definitely go there.</p>

<p>Princeton is a crapshoot as with all the other Ivy’s. Just hope for the best.</p>
