The Class of 2010 ED Thread/Roster

Colleges & Universities Princeton University
541

<p>Hey everyone!
Just stumbled upon this website while hiding in my house with the lights out attempting to thwart the trick-or-treaters desperately trying to still steal some of my candy. I am excited (and a little overwhelmed) to see all of the talented and overqualified people with whom I may be attending school with the next four years (lets all keep our fingers crossed!) Add me to the ED Pool.</p>

<p>Random stuff About me:
-From Chicago (duh)
-I’m an athlete (not a very good one but somehow liked enough by Princeton)
-Took a lot of crazy/stupid chances on my application (wrote one essay completely on how utterly fat and hopeless I was when I played T-ball and how I still managed to compete).
-Play/Love the oboe and irish tin whistle and lots of other random instruments
-Starting to teach myself the bass (any sax/percussion/guitar/bassists willing to jam on your free time if we all get in? I’m willing to try any kind of music as long as it sounds good )
-Involved in a rap group that does music you probably haven’t heard before (hardcore rap in blank verse)

  • I don’t deserve to get into such a beautiful amazing place like Princeton!</p>

<p>Favorite Recording: pick up the pieces
Favorite Movie: The Bicycle Thief (Vittorio De Sica)
Favorite Book: Any P.K. Dick
Favorite Website: <a href=“http://www.stockmarketgame.com/[/url]”>http://www.stockmarketgame.com/&lt;/a&gt; (Addicting)</p>

<p>I hope the best for all of you!</p>

<p>omg… I just submitted my application. It is the weirdest feeling ever. I am happy that it’s done, but I also feel helpless that I cannot change anything. I wish had spent more time on essays than 48 hours. It is also so scary that the decision comes out in 45 days.</p>

<p>it’s time for praying now, LOTS of praying.</p>

<p>Good luck to you guys. Hopefully most of us will be replying with accepted on the ED decision roster for 2010 :)</p>

558

<p>Congratulations, Marli! How are you feeling? Relieved? Terrified? Apprehensive? Calm? I think it’s very nice to have it out of my hands. Sure, I’m not able to use logic to completely override the emotions swirling around my head, but it definitely is nice to know that I did what I could and if it’s meant to be, then hooray, but if not, then God has another plan that will still lead to an awesome four years.</p>

559

<p>Yes, definitely! And I know that my 500 word essay will be a perfect fit in practically every school’s app – makes me happy, lol. </p>
