Countdown to ED Notification

<p>Are any of you other ED people counting on BEAUCOUP financial aid?? They'd better give me at least $30k.</p>

<p>i think it's great for all the obvious reasons, but also because of the mentality it creates amoung graduates: a princeton degree, and you owe them nothing! instead of harboring resentment over, "Yeah, i got a Harvard degree, but I''ll be working the rest of my life to pay it off :/" </p>

<p>The great thing is, alums are so grateful to their alma mater, they give back generou$ly. It's a nice philosophy. I appreciate it.</p>

<p>gianievve, i would appreciate a picture of you ASAP</p>

<p>I hope I get a lot of fin. aid, cavalier....I'll either go into politics or art and neither of those offer high starting salaries (haha, politics would actually be negative b/c of law school)...</p>

<p>Has anyone else started really thinking about what it will be like to go get the mail Dec. 14th through 18th or so? I can picture my hand opening the mailbox..looking in...and then having another letdown because no Princeton response has come...then the same thing the next day, and the next, until...well...</p>

<p>Yeah, I must have molto financial aid because...yeah, I do, haha. If the Estimator's right, however, I'll have no worries :)</p>

<p>And I definitely think that the end of the week of Dec. 5-11 and the week of Dec. 12-18 will definitely be the hardest part. Man, I probably won't even be able to focus in school. Even now I always find my thoughts in class wandering to the looming D-Day. Mad crazy, yo, heh.</p>

<p>Why do they do that during final week?! I know...no concentration possible at all. I mean, I can't concentrate now, even.
They should set both the deadline and the notification date 1/2 month earlier.</p>

<p>Yes, it's hard with your mind wandering off to mid-december all the time</p>

<p>Any ideas when an international would get notification... does the priority thing work for internationals too?</p>

<p>"Any ideas when an international would get notification... does the priority thing work
for internationals too?"
hmm - good question. I heard it does. i guess you'll find out sooner or later!</p>

<p>Q: does anyone know when the reading process actually begins? Next week? the week after that? end of November?</p>

<p>Ungh I wish my school was more competitive. I average A+ in my school but of course that won't look any different on paper from the kid with the rounded-up 89.5</p>

<p>Yea...mr. A+ shhhh</p>

<p>I hope they've started reading by now but I heard they read the most during Thanksgiving break. </p>

<p>Good thing I don't have finals but those two weeks promise to be very hard, especiall since a lot of other schools find out earlier.</p>

<p>Wow, I woke up today to like 4 inches of snow on the ground [surprise face]</p>

<p>Whoa really?
<em>looks outside</em>
Nothing here but it's very cold brr 36 degrees now.</p>

<p>I could really use a snow day next week though.
<em>please snow please snow please snow</em></p>

<p>What I would do for snow...</p>

<p>well, it's saturday so i get no benefit from it. astrix: have you ever experienced snow? (maybe through travels?)</p>

<p>Haven't!! EVER. Winter pics I have seen of Princeton... amazing</p>

<p>it'll stop being "amazing" after maybe 4 hours of slogging through it. (or less, perhaps.) I guess I'll have to get used to cold weather....</p>

<p>I just want to feel this mysterious substance of which you all speak. I mean, really. Real snow, y'know. Not the fake stuff. Like the kind that'll actually stick to the ground for a couple of days, and that you can make snowpeople out of, and that you can make snow angels in, or write your name in, or whatever. So yeah, it'd take a while for me to get tired of it, lol. And I agree, astrix. Princeton + snow/ice = winter paradise</p>

<p>snow is horrible, you don't want to deal with it, phil</p>

<p>I seriously should have been looking at schools in florida; I DESPISE cold weather so perhaps you should take my opinions on snow with a grain of salt</p>

<p>Haha, I love how the people in the colder regions of the country hate it, and everyone else wants it like nobody's business. Maybe we'll end up finding a happy medium some day. Or not. Which is okay.</p>

<p>the only thing snow is good for are snow days</p>
