Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: ?
Other Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations, etc: Kind of disappointed. Congratz to all accepted and hopefully I join you lucky guys in April.</p>
<p>JTC007 - I knew you would get in. Congrats guy.</p>
<p>i’m in california and i got my deferral today</p>
<p>Please don’t do this, zzibuya. I told you about 2 cases with people from backgrounds much like yours, who were deferred ED but accepted RD. Do not give up hope; do not feel dejected. Do not let it affect your confidence about your other apps. It is no reflection on you; merely a reflection on the priorities in the Early Round and the numbers of applications in <em>both</em> Early and Regular Round. (The main reason that people get deferred ED is that the college would like to compare them with similar apps they think they will get during RD.) You did not get rejected, so please look at the bright side. :)</p>
<p>I’m so sorry Def890, I was really hoping you’d make it. =/
Good luck RD round!!!</p>
<p>grrr the mailman came 5 hours late today.
All that for nothing.
Because my letter hasn’t arrived yet.
I’m gonna go all GrecoPrincetonian now.
fafffjkl;fdfdsaadfgadgfjklfdsjklfdsjkl;fds</p>
<p>jkjk</p>
<p>i love how greoprincetonian has become an adjective, like machiaveliian or lilliputian</p>
<p>bpike-just curious as to where in ny you are?</p>
<p>Yes, I have developed a Grecoprincetonian attitude! Actually, it’s not that bad. Has anyone from the Bay Area (where NO ONE says hyphy in reality) received a letter?</p>
<p>CONGRATS TO ALL THOSE ACCEPTED!!!
Especially btlsgirl, kraor, and JTC, you 3 definitely rocked the Princeton forum!
I can’t wait to hear about everybody else.</p>
<p>Def980- where in CA do you live?</p>
<p>Eventer, I’m from Bellmore, Long Island.</p>
