<p>I think that my acceptance shows that the admissions office truly does look at the entire applicant, and not just numbers.</p>
<p>Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:[/b]</p>
<p>wow congrats to everyone! :)</p>
<p>Congratulations, sric24!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, at my school, Princeton deferred the girl with numbers -and- a wholesome personality, while accepting the girl with -only- numbers and a horribly demented personality, to boot. Kind of at odds with your argument of Princeton’s being “holistic.”</p>
<p>guys, I’d love to get to know all of you, so I created a facebook group. Please take a look, and feel free invite any other people you know. </p>
<p><a href=“Redirecting...”>Redirecting...;
<p>let’s bring this up for monday</p>
<p>bump…getting ready for another round of decisions tomorrow (and hopefully mine!)</p>
<p>So US applicants can for sure start calling on Tuesday morning if we don’t find out by then?</p>
<p>yeh i think so…i really hope i get it tomorrow</p>
<p>aren’t they emailing decisions tomorrow? or is that international only?</p>
<p>Int’l only, I believe.</p>
<p>I think its internationals only, that way for me one way or another (letter hopefully) I will know</p>
<p>when you say internationals get emails, you mean Canadians too right?</p>
