**Official Princeton Class of 2013 Decisions COUNTDOWN!**

<p>^ lol, that made me laugh. :)</p>

<p>Good luck to all of you. I understand the pressure and anxiety you may be feeling. A wise student told my son when he was a senior waiting for acceptances, to just make sure that you aren’t “married” to any one school because where you are meant to be you will be, and there are plenty of good schools. My son was deferred by Columbia ED, then rejected RD. But accepted to Princeton, Brown, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Boston College Honors, NYU Honors, etc. ; wait listed to Harvard, UPenn, and Cornell. He is now in his second year at Princeton, and doing very well and feels very fortunate even though he didn’t anticipate going to Princeton when he applied to Columbia. So, my point is it will all work out in the long run.</p>

<p>schee,
I’m a freshman at Princeton and I got rejected by Cal last year. I’m from California. I wasn’t even applying to the engineering school. It happens.</p>

<p>hookem congrats @ duke! :slight_smile: </p>

<p>i got in @ wesleyan and got waitlisted at johns hopkins :x … prlly bc i showed no interest whatsoever, didnt visit campus / interview / ED – supposedly its a big factor in their admissions process… </p>

<p>good luck guys and gals … tuesday will be here sooner than we think</p>

<p>Tuesday is so close!!! O.o</p>

<p>woot, into rice as well.</p>

<p>princeton is still too long of a ways off :S
any1 want to invent a time machine in the next three days?</p>

<p>Gd luck everyone! All the best! :)</p>

<p>Really losing any inkling of hope…</p>

<p>Waitlisted at Duke and Williams.</p>

<p>People who get into Princeton get into Duke and/or Williams, generally speaking. </p>

<p>Sigh.</p>

<p>Today, I got a letter from Princeton that said i got accepted. I jumped for joy screaming at the top of my lungs. My little brother walks in laughing with his camcorder on record. He played a joke on me and gave me the real letter. I was denied. ■■■</p>

<p>That was on fmylife.com posted the 25th</p>

<p>I believed it for a second and then was like uh wait…</p>

<p>But, then I realized that it might have been from a previous year, but I thought I’d share anyway. Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>^if that had happened to me, i would have hit my brother so hard in the face… that had to have been absolutely demoralizing</p>

<p>^^^^i wouldnt of stopped at one punch, it would have been a brawl</p>

<p>Yeah, that sounds so depressing ://</p>

<p>Ohmyyygod you guys, 3 days. I’m getting anxious, because it seems like all of my non-ivy-applicant classmates have heard back from everywhere already. Booo.</p>

<p>yeah, and stanford DIDNT release theirs yesterday… which would have made next week a bit less stressful, no matter the decision…</p>

<p>so who applied to all the ivies (meaning who’s getting a bunch of decisions on one day)? one of my friends hears from 5 schools on the 31st…</p>

<p>^ 5 Ivies pour moi, aussi. I have actually learned to just be happy with the school that I’m most likely attending right now: a nice, very affordable state school. Basically, the 31st for me will be like a blah draw out of a hat when I access my decisions. I am done with all of this useless, idealistic wishing and waiting for someone in the admissions office to save me. I’ve decided that only I can take control of my life, and that I shouldn’t feel bad in the least if no Ivies take me.</p>

<p>entangled0120, my son had similar thinking. He was accepted to our state university Rutgers honors college on a full scholarship, and had already been accepted to NYU Scholars program. But he had been deferred and later rejected rd by columbia. But he would have been satisfied going to Rutgers or NYU. He would have been disappointed if some of other schools didn’t come in, but he knew it wasn’t the end of the world. But when the decision day came, I think this type of thinking, not expecting any huge acceptances, made his acceptances even sweeter. Meanwhile, the kids who expected fully to get into school A, B, or C and didn’t, were beyond angry. </p>

<p>I hope you get some surprises and feel the same way.</p>

<p>I agree with entangled too. I have been absolutely blessed to get about a full ride at UT (which is the University of Texas for those who don’t know) and I am absolutely happy. It was my top choice school until my teacher advised me to apply to some better schools so even if I get rejected from the 3 ivies I applied to then I will be totally okay because God has already blessed me so much that it really does not matter.</p>

<p>just got rejected from Middlebury :frowning:
