I assume we all already know this, but Princeton just sent an email announcing that decisions will come out March 27 at 7p.m. ET.

How does the time you get the email mean anything?

It probably doesn’t mean anything whenever the emails went out

73

I hypothesize that first wave = accept, second wave = wl, third wave = reject

It could be by the program/school you applied to as well right? Mine was 3:07 EST, I applied engineering.

Why would they send the email at certain times based on your decision? It just doesn’t really make sense. It is probably just so it doesn’t crash when they send it all at once.

76

3:08pm EST

Some summer camps do this. I guess it doesn’t really apply for university admissions, but we’ll see

78

Oh interesting. Yeah I guess we’ll see

79

arts and sciences

80

81

Arts and sciences

82

Your hypothesis is incorrect. I have confirmed with Princeton that there was one, and only one, email batch sent. What the timestamp says means nothing. So let’s move the conversation forward

Guys, is there any data about how deferred students usually fare in RD? Does it even mean anything to get deferred? @skieurope could you ask Princeton for us haha /s

I got into Georgia Tech & UIUC as an intl engineering major, waitlisted at Notre Dame and UCLA, and rejected from MIT and JHU so far. Really starting to get scared for next week and I also need a bit of aid.
