<p>Finally, something positive from a ‘college admissions’ alum…Merci Beaucoup, decillion ;)</p>
<p>To answer perr772, I wrote my essay about myself talking to my children in the future. My children represent me now, and my future self represents what I hope to be like. It is a funky gimmick. I know. Is the day really April first because the website says March 30 at 5pm and then Brown is saying ivy day is March 29. I am so confused.</p>
<p>Decisions will be released March 29. Best of luck everyone!</p>

<p>It says they will be mailed March 29th…I wonder if that’s email or snail mail…</p>
<p>Don’t most other colleges have email or some kind of application portal?</p>
<p>I’m really hoping they don’t mail it because I am leaving for Mexico on the 1st and it probably won’t reach me in MI</p>

There’s definitely online notification, but I’m not sure if it’s via email or portal. Any SCEA applicants want to shed some light on this?</p>
<p>16 days!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What essay prompt did you write that for and why…?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A few days before March 29 they will email you a link to go to so that you can log in and check your admissions decision. (notify.princeton.edu) You use the same log in and password you registered with for the application tracker.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You’ll see it online first and most likely will receive a letter/package in the mail 2-4 days afterwards if you live somewhere in the Northeast.</p>
<p>Are we allowed to discuss essays on CC? I know that prospective applicants aren’t likely to look at this thread, but still? Just wondered.</p>
<p>Sorry if that has been asked before, but will we get a letter in the mail if we get rejected as well? (just want to know what to expect 
)</p>
<p>Yes, you will get a letter regardless of your decision. Little letters are rejected or waitlisted, and big ones are accepted!</p>
<p>Yes, you will, but I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t rather check your admissions decision online…</p>
<p>Oh of course I’m checking online, I was just curious as to whether or not we’d get a hard copy as well. I know some schools don’t mail physical rejection letters… Yale, for example (first-hand experience 
)</p>
<p>I’m not checking online. I want to open my mailbox and find out.</p>
<p>Perry, you must have nerves of steel.</p>
<p>That is exactly what everyone else tells me. Sometimes following tradition is just really darn difficult</p>
<p>Perry, I’m totally with you there. I will wait for my envelope! (mostly b/c logging into my email has become an experience I hate. Every time I log in, someone wants something from me)</p>
<p>I hate logging into my email! I always expect something now, but all I seem to get is spam, Spam, SPAM!</p>
<p>haha, perry that’s awesome! personally don’t think I could pull that off…I would check at 5:30 sharp, haha!</p>
<p>how are you guys just focusing on school/other stuff? I have become a collegeconfidential addict, poring over stats and threads and waiting anxiously; every day seems like an eternity. If I waited for 3 months, why do these two weeks seem so bad? Anyone have any thoughts?? Gosh, it would be great if something good happened for us, and I’m assuming so, given how self-selected we are at CC.</p>
<p>Well. I cope mostly by not thinking about college as much as possible, but seeing as I’m on CC replying to this thread, that must not be going too well.</p>
<p>I’m nervous, and I want to know, but at the same time I fear knowing.
But given the choice I’d rather know than not know.</p>
<p>^^ Haha I feel the exact same way. Up until this month, I haven’t worried that much but now suddenly I can’t bear waiting one more minute. And checking CC every 5 minutes isn’t helping either :D. I will probably be stuck in this mentality until Ivy Day (either the best or worst day of my high school career). Anyway, good luck to all!</p>
<p>

<p>This.
I think I rank somewhere along the highest quartile on the “need to know” scale.</p>
