<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>hahahaha that is hilarious lizziepoo forcing your guidance counselor to go through all of that. i love intelligent revenge.</p>
<p>luckily my guidance counselor loves me, she will be so thrilled if i get into pton. but props nonetheless on that tact.</p>
<p>I have 7 classes tomorrow...then I get to hang around 'til lax practice which starts AT 5...then I have to go to a student government meeting at 7 or 7:30. Bummer...but at least I know I won't be sitting at my computer pressing refresh for an hour or two!</p>
<p>Tomorrow I'm supposed to study for tests in AP French and AP Euro...I wonder if that's going to happen...</p>
<p>does anyone else find it amusing that the activities we hope will help us into princeton have now become huge obstacles in terms of being able to see our decisions on time?</p>
<p>"well i get out of school at 2:30 and then i have student council until 4:30 and piano lessons until 6:30 then i tutor a new student until 8 then i have a meeting for my uganda volunteer project until 10 then i'm video-conferencing with youth leaders in china about asian economics until midnight then i have to go to my late night dancers club until 3am then i can get to the soup kitchen by 4, which is early enough to have breakfast ready for the homeless by 5, then i need to be back at school by 6 so i just don't know when i'll see my decision"</p>
<p>haha well im lucky.. at my school, we have this wonderful period in the middle of our school day called activities period, and we have club meetings during those periods... and tomorrow i don't have anything after school, so i'll be checking at 5 =].</p>
<p>It's Spring Break here (yay!) but now I will wake up at 10am ... and wait on CC until 3:00pm. And after I get my blood pressure up, the site will bog down and I'll be disconnected. Then I'll try again... and again... and again... ... ... until I finally see</p>
<p>Muddslinger ----- REJECTED (we took notes from Stanford and Olin College!)</p>
<p>... etc. I hear from my remaining 5 schools, four of which I'd love to get into but will be rejected from regardless. Sigh. Well, off to Lehigh for me :)</p>
<p>does anyone know if last year they found out exactly at 5 or a bit before? i tried checking last years posts, but i couldn't find a princeton rd decision thread.</p>
<p>Sadly enough, my inability to tell my school's valedictorians that they are <em>not</em> the smartest people in the school and shove it in the face of my high school's administration will be more disappointing than not being able to go to Pton.</p>
<p>Pton, Penn, Swat and Mudd (whoa... 4 letter bonanza there) are my last vestiges of hope to claim superiority over the two valedictorians that applied to MIT and were rejected. Accepted to Pton > Waitlist at Stanford any day.</p>
<p>Now the real question is: Accepted to Mudd or Penn > Waitlist at Stanford? I'm saying yes because you didn't actually earn anything until your waitlist turns into an acceptance later on :)</p>
<p>"does anyone know if last year they found out exactly at 5 or a bit before? i tried checking last years posts, but i couldn't find a princeton rd decision thread."</p>
<p>a friend of mine said that all of the ivies did come out at the stated time. i was mildly surprised considering that stanford had to send their emails out over 1-2 days (although princeton not emailing it, so it should be a bit easier for them)</p>
<p>Its 1.21 pm on the 31st here. I get the decisions at 2.30 am my time. Now, I might try to sleep, but I really dont think I can... This is soooo frustrating. :D</p>
<p>9 hours left. for some reason, i remember the moment during 1999 uefa final between Man Utd and Bayern Munchen when Solskjaer scored the winning goal. the commentators said, "the treble looms large." i just want to change it slightly into "college decision looms large."
(ok, am i the only soccer/football fan on CC? :P )</p>
<p>I've made paper Ivy ballots which I plan to put in a hat and pull individually to check decisions randomly. Or maybe I should take the labeled Ivy leaves that my mom has enshrined in wax paper over the kitchen sink she collected on our tours of campuses [some people buy t-shirts]. </p>
<p>Princeton, my 1st choice, is the smallest leaf coincidentally, and Cornell the largest. But Princeton's is far more stately and intricate in its own grandeur. Just for laughs, my dad picked up an ivy leaf on a street in our town. It's label says, 'Green Street Ivy'. There's no place like home.</p>
