<p>I’m coming back with a vengeance…Princeton RD ain’t ready for Sciencedaddy 2.0</p>
<p>Someone should make a deferred thread so we can bond as a group.</p>
<p>Just remember, this means its time to kick-ass in the regular round :)</p>
<p>@ScienceDaddy haha can i have some of your confidence please? i kinda just feel like giving up and going to my flagship state school…</p>
<p>@PrincetonPls deferred students, unite! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/princeton-university/1719152-princeton-scea-2019-deferred-students.html?new=1”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/princeton-university/1719152-princeton-scea-2019-deferred-students.html?new=1</a></p>
<p>@ilovethecity and @hopeforamiracle I’m just so, so bitterly disappointed in myself. I really wanted to make my parents and grandparents proud after everything they’ve done for me and seeing all the elated parents on here posting their children’s results makes me so sad because I wanted my parents to have that moment too, more than I wanted to have that moment. Also, I wish I didn’t love the school this much. And I wish I were doing something more productive than laying on my bed and crying.</p>
<p>@hopeforamiracle sure! I dunno how I can transfer it to you though. </p>
<p>@ambitious19 I agree with you wholeheartedly. I come from a family where all my relatives live overseas in a developing nation. Upon hearing of the college process, the only two american schools they had ever heard of were Harvard and Princeton. I wanted this moment for myself more than anything, but I would have loved to give them that satisfaction too.</p>
<p>Some things aren’t meant to be though, and that’s okay. Plenty of other schools, an RD round, and more for us to enjoy. We’re all going to go to college and have great lives - and that’s all that matters.</p>
<p>To those that got in:</p>
<p>CONGRATS :)</p>
<p>@ambitious19 i feel the same way 
my brother was deferred by princeton a while ago (he’s much older than i am) and my parents were really hoping that i would manage to get in. instead, i’ve continued a legacy of deferral (not exactly the best kind of legacy). and i, too, was absolutely in love with princeton (well, still am)</p>
<p>It’s unbelievable; and I’m taking some time to get used to it; but I was admitted!! And with a 97% scholarship! I can’t believe it! I simply can’t! So unexpected!</p>
<p>@Ambitious19 @ScienceDaddy I’m so sorry… I was looking forward to meeting you guys… I know nothing I say can take the feeling of pain away, and I don’t oppose you wallowing in despair, but after some time, you should rise again, and continue. Life continues; and I think you should not look at this as a barrier, but as a speed bump. I know you can do it, and you’ll be successful anywhere. Ambitious with her insightful thinking, and ScienceDaddy with his charisma and ability to keep others interested.</p>
<p>@ScienceDaddy I love your enthusiasm! Keep the fire burning!</p>
<p>I’ve followed this thread for the past week, and I really wish the best of luck to those who were deferred or rejected. A large congratulations to those who were accepted, it must be thrilling! As @ScienceDaddy said, we who were deferred will be back with a vengeance. Princeton is one of the most (if not the most) competitive schools to get into. We all gave it a shot, and remember, we miss a 100% of the shots we don’t take. </p>
<p>So I hope we can all enjoy our upcoming holidays, and focus on RD. Onwards and upwards! </p>
<p>It’s so sweet how everyone on here is so supportive of one another!</p>
<p>This is my first post after being deferred as well (seems like I’m not alone unfortunately:/).</p>
<p>Anyway, I think we should all remain optimistic and wait until March before we completely fall apart. It feels like such a hard hit since there’s nothing to fall back on, but hopefully as it gets later in the process we will hear from other schools who want us, just as Princeton should. </p>
<p>Best of luck to all of you. Regardless of what happens, it will be a beautiful road ahead:)</p>
<p>Weird part: I’m not even salty. </p>
<p>I’m a bit salty/sulky today but by tomorrow
I’ll be all good </p>
<p>Deferred and congrats to everyone accepted!
@ScienceDaddy Just wanted to say that you’re post made me laugh :)) </p>
<p>It’s just so frustrating.
For most of us who didn’t get accepted, we got deferred.
But we would never know if we were close to be accepted or at the bottom of the pile.
If we knew, we could decide if we should stick around or simply just move on.</p>
<p>i was accepted!!! This is so unreal!!!</p>
<p>Is there a facebook group for class of 2019?</p>
<p>I thought i actually stood a chance, especially since I’m Mexican-American and first gen.
I was completely at peace with my decision until I got home and saw that the other girl who applied SCEA at my school got in… and I just don’t understand
I took way harder classes than she did, had higher grades, higher test scores… I guess I never really had much of a chance, since admissions called our counselor two weeks ago for her first quarter grades, but not for mine. Maybe our readers were different. I guess I just got the short end of the stick this time around… I’m happy for her, but it really stings, especially when you know that you did more than the other person. Oh well, at least it’s not a rejection! Yet. Good luck everyone. Oh, and if Ambitious got deferred and the girl I’m talking about got in, Princeton is a fool. Congrats to all those who heard good news, and for those of us who weren’t so lucky, I guess we’ll just have to keep trudging along. :P</p>
<p>I almost wish they would straight up reject more people. Deferring this many people is leading us all on… Not nice </p>
<p>Deferred. applied from an NJ private school, 2380 SAT, second in the class, solid extracurriculars but nothing Earth-shattering. I’m honestly not too disappointed because I didn’t expect to get in the first round anyway. I feel like Princeton is sort of like the MLB Hall of Fame: only the absolute legends get in on the first ballot, the rest have to wait until the next round in order to know for sure. Congrats to the all stars who got in this round!</p>
