<p>A fat package in the mail or a little one? Why? I'll start.</p>
<p>I am expecting a fat package. Why? Because I feel it in my bones. And my bones don't lie. Whoa that rhymed.</p>
<p>Thin envelope.</p>
<p>no matter the size, it will be the center of the universe for about two minutes</p>
<p>im expecting a fat package. Why? b/c everyone at school (especially mahajan) keeps telling me i will.</p>
<p>im hoping for a little package (deferral). Why? decent schools have sent me some pretty nice scholarship deals where i might be happy without forking over $15K</p>
<p>Thin envelope - could just as easily be a rejection as it could be a deferall.</p>
<p>(for some reason i spell deferall like adderall)</p>
<p>how, exactly, did that rhyme?</p>
<p>Why... lie.</p>
<p>It changes from hour to hour. I'm one of those borderline applicants who can easily swing either way. So ask me one minute, and I'll be confident I'm getting a fat package. Ask me the next, and I'll be thinking I'll get a thin. (At this particular moment, I'm expecting a deferal.)</p>
<p>I'll be honest with you people, and to my best knowledge, I am presenting you my opinion: I'm expecting the chicken I just ordered</p>
<p>edit: cooked not alive</p>
<p>If Princeton were in Poland - I would expect fat envelope.</p>
<p>Because it is not, all that I can expect is envelope.</p>
<p>lol .</p>
<p>me too. i'm getting an envelope, either way. and that's that/</p>
<p>With my luck, I'll get a fat envelope with somebody else's info inside. Then a thin letter, apologizing for sending me the wrong package. BOTOM LINE: REJECT....not even deferred. As a matter of fact, I'm calling right now and telling them not to bother because I'm withdrawing my application. Now, there, I am rejecting THEM.</p>
<p>just kidding, just kidding, please take me.....</p>
<p>Most likely a deferral, but I am still so very hopeful for that fat package. It would make my dad so proud... before we closed his casket I got to speak to him one last time and I told him I'd try everything I could to make him proud and allow his memory to live on. Since he won't be here to see me get into college, I really hope for that fat package because it would make my Dad the happiest person ever.</p>
<p>Just of the top of my mind: two envelopes.</p>
<p>One for science part of me, and second for humanities part... :)</p>
<p>Max -- I want to tell you how sorry I am about your father and how much I hope you get that fat envelope, for him and for you.</p>
<p>For Dizzy-son -- thin envelope, because he is a white male, but please please please just this once overlook that!</p>

This is seriously disheartening. It's even more rampant in india, where on the application form you're asked about your "category" before your name. And it's not optional... most of the time even the forms are different for minority people.</p>
<p>I remember, my friend, who's a christian (minority here) and (probably) a tribal here got into a prestigious school (we usually switch schools in 11th grade here) with 56% marks, while I was refused even an application form even though I had 88.2% (said my math was too low for them). It was a catholic school. Anyway...</p>
<p>And by the way, I expect to be deferred. :) Though I hope I get accepted.</p>
<p>Yes, very screwed up form of "affirmitive action" practiced here. Reservations, quotas...</p>
<p>not here. not again. no.</p>
