<p>omg! this is news!!</p>
<p>sorry to know pk… hope you get in rd</p>
<p>If pk can’t get in, I don’t know who can!!
You’re so enthusiastic, pk; just show Pton that enthusiasm in the coming months and I bet you’ll have a shot at RD.
No joke, I am practically in tears here…:(</p>
<p>Pk, I think everyone’s heart sank when they saw your decision. You’re one of the most enthusiastic member of this forum, so I’m really sorry to see you get deferred.</p>
<p>ok i am sure you will end up some place great!</p>
<p>I didn’t even APPLY ED and still seeing all of this is making me so tense! I am so happy for those accepted but for those deffered or rejected I feel like it was my dream. EVERYBODY who applied early from my high school to an Early Decision or Early Action program was deferred (well, haven’t heard from Princeton, but that’s just one person)…this is too weird and real.</p>
<p>I’m so sorry pk. I was really rooting for you. You should send a link to this forum to Princeton and show them that they are missing out and then they will, of course, accept you RD.</p>
<p>space pirate- the envelope is about the size of your standard manila envelope, the princeton logo is pretty small so until i saw the top left corner of it i was not sure it was from them! it was sent priority and you will feel some lumps in it because there are odds and ends like a map and a car decal and also everything comes in a white folder with an imprint of nassau hall on the cover.</p>
<p>I’m sorry pk, for asking. But I really hope with get into Princeton RD. You have made the princeton board the best of them all.</p>
<p>And seeing your stats and everything, I feel like I may be joining you tommorow in the pool of deferred applicants.</p>
<p>PK – I’m sorry.</p>
<p>Someone should email the adcoms about this site so they can read about PK…lol.</p>
<p>nooooooooooo pk!!! that makes me want to cry!!! now i know i have absolutely no chance!!! 
well you will definitely get into somewhere amazing RD, no question, and i wouldn’t be surprised if princeton lets you in if they have any idea of your passion- you are one of the main reasons this forum is awesome!!!</p>
<p>pkpkpkpkpkpkpkpkpk nooo D=</p>
<p>pk, I want to write you a peer letter of recommendation. :(</p>
<p>pk…so sorry to hear the deferral…you’re enthusiastic and bright…you will end up somewhere great (hopefully princeton) and do great things…i know it</p>
<p>omg i dont believe it! PKKKKKKKKKKK! </p>
<p>I am truly sorry…but keep your head high! you are great person…you would go to a REALLY GOOD SCHOOL…if not Princeton… :(</p>
<p>this is so sad… sincere condolence to everyone deferred… you guys will end up great in the rd round! and congrats to those admitted! it’s scary to think that everything is on the way… and seeing so many admitted are chinese, i’m not sure if they want any more… sigh</p>
<p>Wow, pk. I mean… WOW! I really feel for you man… but keep your head up, you still have an above average chance at regular decision.</p>
