<p>OH MAN I AM SOOOO PSYCHED TO JOIN YOU GUYS!!!! my mailman just HAD to pick today to not come until after 4pm</p>
<p>As I was driving home today, my dad called and told me that there was a thick envelope from Princeton. When I got home and opened it, I literally stood there with my mouth comletely agape and I was almost nauseous. It took like 45 minutes for it to actually set in. It's so weird, but I almost feel guilty getting in, knowing that there are SOOOO many awesome candidates out there. Anyway, congrats everyone, see you all in nine months...</p>
<p>I feel like they made a mistake too! Looking at all the amazing applicants who were deferred makes me go and check my letter continuously, just to make sure it's really addressed to me! I'm so grateful to have been chosen, and I can't wait to meet all of you. It still really hasn't sunk in. I'm going to Princeton! :D :D :D</p>
<p>yeah, hasnt sunk in for my either. out of the nine ppl that applied from my school, i dont know of any other acceptances, so believe me i definitely know the guilt feeling...</p>
<p>I feel so stupid saying this, but I'm terrified right now. I really wasn't expecting to get in... at all. I was completely prepared to get deferred, and was getting myself all psyched about possibly applying to Tufts... this completely threw me for a loop. It's amazing how fast things change, and I don't understand how I actually got accepted. </p>
<p>Is anyone else feeling really intimidated?</p>
<p>One question for you glinda: Are you so happy you could melt?</p>
<p>Sorry, couldn't resist. If you aren't into the show "Wicked" that won't make sense to you guys.</p>
<p>Glinda reminds me of The Wizard of Oz... Wasn't the pretty good witch named glinda?</p>
<p>Intimidated? Definitely. I walked around on campus a little bit today and I was like, holy crap- I am GOING here! And then my dad reminded me, ever so gently, that I'll be writing a thesis in four years. Talk about intimidation.</p>
<p>HAHAH i'm still shaking...I called at 4 AM and then I found out..danced around for an hour and went back to sleep. My sister called me and reminded me and I thought it all was a dream! I just ordered my sweatshirt. How did I get in? I think I was a mistake..but oh well bc I got into Princeton Bitoch!</p>
<p>ICargirl: I couldn't be happier! Thank goodness! ;)</p>
<p>Wooohoooooooo!!!! I am SO psyched to join you guys. I can't wait til next fall. I love Princeton.</p>
<p>Whoopdidoooodledooo!!!!!! I'm in guys!!!! Now I can stop refraining myself from looking at those gorgeous princeton campus pics!!!!!! YES!</p>
<p>So guys, I think I may get a B-/C in AB Calc on the mid-year report, but everything else should be A/A-. Is this going to be a problem? I mean, it's not like they accepted me for math (as you can probably infer). Also, do you think if you had a 4.0 and your grades dropped, it would matter less than if you had a 3.65 and your grades dropped?</p>
<p>Hmm...did you guys get a little peel-off-sticker like thing with the Princeton insignia? Says something like "Static Cling" on the left side? Do you have any clue what it is?</p>
<p>I got one in my folder, but have no clue what it's for...seems too small to be a car sticker. :P</p>
<p>Anyway, that's my stupid question for the day. And Shu, no answer to your smarter question. My grades Q1 were rough, but I think Q2 looks very solid so far. </p>
<p>To stay on the safe side, I'm following a policy of working just as hard and maintining a solid GPA...or trying hard to. My friends (even the juniors) actually have more senioritis for me than I do; when I want to work, they tell me not to worry and catch up on sleep instead. Such bad influences, haha.</p>
<p>I think it's to put on your car window, but I agree that it's somewhat small, so don't feel bad, Cautious, I was a little confused by it at first too. </p>
<p>Just because we're accpeted at Princeton doesn't mean we're all dripping with common sense :)</p>
<p>HAhaha, good point. That little decal thing is for the car, but I think it would be tacky to put it on my car now. I'm selling it before I go to Princeton anyway. Wow, I liked saying that. So anyway, I'm gonna keep working too, keep up the GPA, mainly because I would feel bad personally and to my teachers who wrote me great recs if I suddenly started getting Bs.</p>
<p>snowdancer16....hhaha im doing the same</p>
<p>haha jmarsh...your last comment makes me laugh
it's gonna be my new motto (except i don't think I had an old one)</p>
<p>"just because i was accepted to princeton doesn't mean I'm dripping with common sense"
he he he very well said :)</p>
<p>btw...i ran outside as soon as I had opened the folder and read the first sentence of the letter, and put the decal on my back window. cuz i'm cool.</p>
<p>Wow. It's official. There exists a class of 2010, and you're in it. I feel really old. You guys will enter Princeton after I leave it, and four short years later, you'll graduate. I might even be there when you do... but it'll be my <em>fourth</em> reunion. Eeeps.</p>
<p>You have now become "prefrosh," rather than just "prospectives," which gives you a few random privileges -- the wearing of Princeton gear, for instance. Another one is talking to me, since I plan to inhabit only the '10 board. Too many 'chances' threads and arguments with Byerly in the other; it gets tiresome. But here, just so you know, I'm willing to answer general Princeton questions, engineering questions, and singing questions (my main areas of expertise).</p>
<p>Congrats all! :-)</p>
