<p>same here, the prez...im checking my brown first, because if i dont get in brown, i'll be able to prepare myself for my princeton rejection....and if i do get in brown, i'll be so happy that my princeton rejection wont hurt as much!</p>
<p>and i also have 2 great schools i'm already in with perfect financial aid and perfect distance from home and great academics....but they're just not Princeton or Brown!!! ARGHHH...............</p>
<p>haha, I know what you mean about 'not Princeton or Brown," except Brown=Cornell for me. D: I mean, I'm probably going to go to William and Mary or UVA, 'cause it's cheap and in-state, but I could have put a LOT less effort into my existence and gotten into those schools.
unfortunately, my 'rents would only pay high tuition if it was a really phenomenal school (HYP). even cornell they say I would have to double major in to make if worth the $$$. so Princeton and Cornell are my last hopes for getting out of here.</p>
<p>probably. then again, UVA probably had a lot of people too and I checked them at 6:20 and had no problem at all. I hope their servers are strong.</p>
<p>im going to try to check it on my laptop, home computer, and iPod at the same time if it decides to be slow. I know that would just add to the problem...but i'm not in a "reasoning" type of mood! I want my answer as soon as possible!!</p>
<p>Haha, yes, I am checking Princeton first to acclamate myself to rejection, and then I'm checking Columbia.</p>
<p>But honestly, I'm into Barnard and Claremont McKenna already. And I never once in this entire process expected to get into Princeton (my guidance counselor made the funniest face when I told her I was applying, like she was trying to hide her dismay), so I'm actually almost totally relaxed at this point. It will all be fine. And I know so many other people who are in situations worse than I am, so I'm just counting myself lucky to be in where I am, and not expecting an embarassment of riches.</p>
<p>My guidance counselor looked at my like i was crazy, and then said "well you certainly need to apply to many more schools than Princeton...", as if to say "Dumbass, just make sure you have a backup because you wont get in!", like I didn't know that already.</p>
<p>That added to the reason I applied to 15 schools...not because I was worried about admissions, but because I wanted to make her job harder. I hate her.</p>
<p>Wow, I'm having the same experiences. I'm like wow I can see myself attending Princeton, such an awesome place, no damnit, your gonna get rejected.</p>
<p>anyone want to explain to me how to read/decode that or whatever^</p>
<p>and wow, i feel so embarrassed for asking that.</p>
<p>lizziepoo, i understand the counselor hating. though at least your counselor acknowledges your existence. mine let me apply to princeton, stanford, cornell, and georgetown back when he still thought my SAT was a 2120/1360. no questions asked. in fact, he still hasn't said anything... hmn...</p>
<p>okay theprez... those SAT scores are good! an ex of mine got into stanford w/like a 2090 or something lol... so maybe your counselor didn't say anything b/c your scores were good!</p>
<p>i just realized its going to really suck getting rejected and then having to still be going to school down the street from princeton everday... and getting lunch and all literally across the street lol. oh well =</p>
