Page 111, lucky page guys… I made a wish for all of us. ~:>
@DonkeyKong466 Not quite…you will sign in and then watch the interminable squares flashing across your screen as the page loads. This sequence typically takes approximately 45 minutes. Okay…not really…it only takes a few moments but it feels like forever. I remember…
I have enjoyed reading the conversations and graciousness with which you treat each other as well as the continual encouragement and positive ways you relate via an electronic medium like these threads. I wish you all the best of luck and a few prayers that the hours pass quickly between now and 3pm tomorrow. ~:>
Is anyone thinking of NOT checking their decision tomorrow? Maybe wait for all midterms to be over first or wait until you have at least one acceptance to somewhere already in hand before checking? ~:>
@jumbletumbles i’m already waiting till i get home to check my decision, which will be like two and a half hours after they’re released, and even thinking about waiting that much is shredding me with anxiety. ~:>
This thread has been such a comfort to me. Whenever I get the chance I stalk it, and it never fails to make me feel happy and excited. It would be amazing to attend Princeton with you all! Good luck everyone! ~:>
@jumbletumbles I wish I had that kind of self control. ~:>
Found this Sweet parent note from NY times, regardless of outcome I hope our paths will cross someday chicken fam
On the night before you receive your first college response, we wanted to let you know that we could not be any prouder of you than we are today. Whether or not you get accepted does not determine how proud we are of everything you have accomplished and the wonderful person you have become. That will not change based on what admissions officers decide about your future. We will celebrate with joy wherever you get accepted — and the happier you are with those responses, the happier we will be. But your worth as a person, a student and our son is not diminished or influenced in the least by what these colleges have decided.
If it does not go your way, you’ll take a different route to get where you want. There is not a single college in this country that would not be lucky to have you, and you are capable of succeeding at any of them.
We love you as deep as the ocean, as high as the sky, all the way around the world and back again — and to wherever you are headed.
Mom and Dad. ~:>
@elk1819 right there with you. good luck tomorrow with the exam and with the decision!
12 pm for me!! Aahh I don’t know if I should just wait until I get home or check during school…
Anyway, thanks to all who wrote amazing posts of encouragement on this thread; the first thing I did when I got home was read through all the posts I missed during the day. You guys never disappoint. @sr71blackbird Thanks for posting that. Loved it.
Off to homework! Good luck on all your exams this week (mine aren’t until after break, which in all things considered is probably the worst idea).
Good ©luck everyone!!! ~:> ~:> ~:>
Hi everyone! I’ve been stalking this thread for probably over a month, but didn’t want to make a CC account because I didn’t trust myself to not waste all my time on here. Now that decisions are so close, I just wanted to say a thank you to all of you for being such wonderful people. Even though I never actively took a role in this thread, I felt like I got to be a part of this family too, which I know sounds kinda stupid and I hope y’all don’t mind me saying that. >.> xD Anyhow, I wish you all the best of luck, and hopefully we can all be classmates.

yea @azwu331, you are a really good writer
Can we have some d-day virtual party here tonight
Hey guys! I’ve not been a part of this discussion and only just made an account on the site a couple of days ago for fear of getting too caught up in freaking out over the details of college applications or comparing myself to all the other (MUCH more deserving) Princeton applicants. But I’ve looked in this discussion group from time to time, and I’ve been doing so more frequently since the official decision date was sent out. You’re all such nice people, and have been truly just helpful to one another even though I know you must often worry about who’s better than you or what they might think of you. I wanted to say that, as an outsider looking in, I think you’ve all been much too wonderful to each other for you to fall away from each other after decisions come out. You have a unique discussion going, and I admire the way you’ve handled yourselves, so please stay in touch / active even after tomorrow. I can see that you’ll all be glad if you do and that this thread could still be encouraging and meaningful to you all right up until we start college, wherever we end up, next fall. So thank you all for your help, thank you for being genuine and good to each other, and I wish you all the best of cluck tomorrow!!

@jordanh16 There was a girl at my school a few years ago who checked her decision during school and it absolutely ruined her day (rejected), she ended up just going home early. I’d definitely wait till I was at home to check the decision. Then again, if you’re accepted during school it would be really great too. I suppose it depends on the result, haha. I’m just going to wait.
GOOD CLUCK EVERYONE I LOVE YOU ALL and yes I second what @morrisk said about talking tomorrow regardless of the decision. I’m too attached now…
<3 ~:>
Ahhh so nervous!! Good luck to everyone tomorrow - you all are great. Every single person on this thread has been amazingly supportive, kind, and helpful. I want everyone on here to get in!!
A quick question though - do you all think I can view my admissions decision on my phone???
@collegebound1915 I would think so. I’ve been able to check my application tracker through my phone before, however, I’m not sure if the decision page will have anything fancy that a phone is not able to handle.
@neptunepaw That’s what I am worried about as well, but I feel like there shouldn’t be anything that the phone can’t handle. Any other opinions??? I might just have to wait and see!
Good luck to all of you! My DS is postponing doing any more essays, says he will have much more motivation if he does not get accepted tomorrow. Is in his PJ’s watching youtube instead… I think his hopes are too high and I hope the disappointment is not too bad. :-S
As one of the few parents on this thread, I’d like to say thanks so much to all of you for letting us crash your party. You all really do impress me and I would bet quite a bit of $ that every one of you will be successful in the future, regardless of where you go to college. Nice job!
As a long time lurker, I am extremely grateful to have been (somewhat) a part of this thread. You guys are one of the most supportive, caring, honest, and incredibly hard-working people I have ever known, and I really want to continue our discussion in the future. Also, despite reading all your comforting words, somehow I have been unable to do any work in the past three days because this decision has consumed my brain. I literally dream about opening up the decision, and I know that this level of obsession is extremely unhealthy, but somehow, I let myself do it anyways. How are you guys pushing this to the back of your minds to be productive? I’m already on break, so my only real work is to complete other college essays (which, at this rate, I will be sending out). ~:>
