<p>I just received a call from the Dean Janet Rapelye (sp?) regarding "my" admissions decision: they mistakenly sent out the wrong decision. "I" was supposed to be deferred. She apologized profusely for the mistake.</p>
<p>However, I did not apply to Princeton ED, and I have applied for RD. (However, I was already accepted to Yale EA). </p>
<p>Therefore, I suspect that someone out there is about to receive a very unpleasant phone call.</p>
<p>Duuuude... that sucks.</p>
<p>are you serious? it's just, well, unbelievable</p>
<p>Wow...that's just...wow.</p>
<p>? how could you have your princeton decision already if you applied to yale EA? Why would the dean of Princeton be rescinding your admission now if you didnt apply ED to princeton? im confused...</p>
<p>I think jesseo means that it wasn't his decision that they made a mistake on, it's someone elses.</p>
<p>I find this implausible. How could they accept on 12/10 an RD application? Pton ED letters went out before Yale's EA letters (and resultant RD applications to other schools). Why does jesseo think someone else is going to receive an 'unpleasant call?' Sounds like someone is trying to stir things up with an urban legend story.</p>
<p>I think he meant this: Princeton mistakenly called him about a botched notification letter when they intended to call someone else on the list....so he didn't actually receive a letter at all, just the call about it. The letter itself went to some other [very unfortunate] person.</p>
<p>Imagine.....that kid's probably been celebrating for 2 weeks....</p>
<p>What a nightmare..... They should accept the kid just to atone for their mistake.</p>
<p>Theoretically, if what jesseo says is true, said student would have withdrawn all other applications in accordance with the Princeton ED "contract," and after receiving notification of this "mistake," said student would be screwed as the deadlines for other colleges' applications are looming.</p>
<p>I'd declare shenanigans, but I'm hungry so I'm going to go eat something.</p>
<p>Not if s/he isn't qualified. I'm guessing the person wasn't a great candidate or they would have just let it slide. (To avoid a lawsuit more than anything else...)</p>
<p>edit: Yes, I was wondering about the other apps, too. I guess---if this story is actually true---that Princeton would call the other schools.</p>
<p>Sick mind came up with a yarn that apparently people believe is plausible. Puhlleezzee! End this thread.</p>
<p>It seems shenanigans has been declared. </p>
<p>I'd seriously doubt they would call someone a week before Christmas about a mistake the admissions office made. They would be at home with family and friends, not sitting in an office double-checking whether they sent the right letter or not. </p>
<p>If they DID make a mistake, it would have been rectified immediately.</p>
<p>Haha...if so, then jesseo has quite a sadistic sense of humor.</p>
<p>BREAKING NEWS: </p>
<p>Jesseo = The Grinch. It has been determined that his heart is two sizes too small!</p>
<p>that's stupid</p>
<p>That is quite possibly the most horrific thing I have ever heard.</p>
<p>Actually this isn't the "most horrific thing." In urban legends there are all kinds of fabricated stories. Did you hear the one about the guy waking up in a hotel room without a kidney!</p>
<p>Ridiculous made up story.</p>
<p>Ok, waking up without a kidney would be pretty bad but I still don't like the idea of having an acceptance taken away like that...even if it is made up.</p>
<p>I'd rather lose a kidney than an acceptance letter!</p>
