Princeton Class or 2021 EA / RD Application thread

@bakinghoe you can bake my potato :wink: But damn. It’s less than 24 hours now. This is surreal. All the best everyone. And like others have said before me, if it’s not here, it’s somewhere better, because the right place will choose you as their right person. Keep your chin up and hope for the best

We now have less than 24 hours until the decisions come out… Yay?

Though I obviously hope for the best, I’m slowly becoming more open to whatever is in store for me tomorrow. As an eighth grader, I had my heart set on going to Thomas Jefferson High School (for anyone who’s unfamiliar, it’s this relatively prestigious magnet school for science and technology in Northern Virginia). When I ended up not making it past the second round, I was crushed. However, a few weeks later, my second-choice high school offered me a scholarship. I let go of my attachment to TJ and accepted. Now, almost four years later, I’m glad that I did. Looking back on my high school career, I’ve had so many rich experiences and met so many people that I wouldn’t have had if my original plans worked out. Princeton has always been my dream and I truly believe that it’s the best choice for me, but there might be a school out there that’ll benefit me even more. At this point, I’m just giving it up to higher power (whether that be God, destiny, or a late-night coin flip in the admissions office).

TL;DR: Whatever happens tomorrow is the best thing for you… Trust.

anyone else get really superstitious this past week?

@currylord oooh yes… we had a little discussion about that a few pages back. I think everyone is looking for signs in random things hahah

couldn’t sleep last, can’t imagine what tonight is gonna be like

@nikuedu same here… might just stay up super late until i pass out and then wake up in time for decisions

super duper nervous.

So to avoid queue times…do i want to click login/refresh at 2:59 or 3:00?

if anyone’s stressing out, listen to the song: Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride (from the Lilo and Stitch Movie of course)…there’s NO way that you can be anything but happy while listening to it…i PROMISE

Anyone else just feel queasy today?

so when we go to check tomorrow, we can use the application portal (where we can check if our transcripts, scores, recommendations, etc.) or the link they sent us about a week ago right? i only ask because when i click the link they sent me, it takes me to the same application portal I have been checking for weeks

@nikuedu yep, I believe we just check the application portal

thanks

In what will be my final post before decisions (although I haven’t made very many posts to begin with), I wanted to wish everyone luck tomorrow. At the end of the day, around 82% of us won’t get into Princeton, and in the end the process to ā€œcull the herdā€ down to that lucky 18% is largely arbitrary. So, regardless of the outcome tomorrow, don’t let one college’s decision define you. I am sure that you will all do amazing things, and I wish everyone here the best. Good luck, and go Princeton! ~:>

Will they e-mail us once the decisions are out?

also, are they coming out at exactly three or after three at some unknown time?

@GettingRekt probably exactly at 3

I can’t believe this journey is coming to an end so soon

I’m terrified for the end of this journey!

I’m about to be getting rekt
