<p>I hear yah lennni, I hear yah !</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>Lol no offense meant to the parents. Of course you're appreciated--I'd just feel a lot of pressure if my own parents knew decision details (date and time, etc.)</p>
<p>My DD is extremely grateful that I am on CC a lot. I have totally taken the pressure off of her in terms of finding out deadlines for applications and financial aid for 12 different schools.</p>
<p>I love the parents that are here, most of ya'll are so helpful in everything. I did, however, have one parent who was EXTREMELY rude to me through PM...but one bad egg can't ruin the whole...carton? (haha bad analogy) </p>
<p>Anyway, I agree with mallomar though that I wouldn't want my parents to know when my decisions came out because I don't want them...hovering!</p>
<p>yea me neither!.lol. too much pressure! omg im like soo scared im freaking out here.lol. 9 more days!!! now im slowly regretting applying to princeton cuz my SATs stink really bad.lol.im going into denial.lol.i want this week to go fast so we could all find out already.grrr. does princeton do the early letter thing that notifies the applicants that have a good chance of getting in like cornell and dartmouth does?</p>
<p>haha yeah i wish the 9 days would come... although 5pm thursday night may be quiet painful. </p>
<p>and no, i do not believe princeton sends likely letters</p>
<p>I keep on bouncing back from having no hope at all to having some hope... this is srsly taking way too long.</p>
<p>^Same, totally. Mostly "resigned lack of hope."</p>
<p>im sticking with "cautiously optimistic" when i can look at the situation logically, but then there are these dark periods when i wonder why i even applied...</p>
<p>exactly i couldnt have said it better</p>
<p>Oh my, I just got an email from Princeton about how to check online decisions - I saw "Admissions Office" and "Princeton" and I squealed. When I clicked on the email and saw the orange and black shield, I let out a muffled sob. Last night, I just dreamt that I got my acceptance letter with that seal on it. Oh Princeton...how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...</p>
<p>I am totally freaking out now. I am an emotional wreck. The weather isn't that great and I'm busy with school, or I could be playing golf and getting depressed about that instead. ARGH.</p>
<p>I used to be cautiously optimistic, but now I'm just a naysayer. It doesn't help that except for the few people at my school who actually know something about the admissions process, everyone keeps being like, ohmygod, don't say that! you'll get in for sure! Which is sweet and all, but it's not making this any easier.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if all decisions are decided by the admissions committee or if some decisions are made without the committee?</p>
<p>all are made in committee, I'm pretty sure</p>
<p>Cameliasinensis, I feel exactly the same way. I used to be cautiously optimistic, but at this point I'm pretty much convinced I won't get in. It's really frustrating when everyone is so nice about this and constantly reassures me that I'll get in, because at this point I think I can accept a rejection and it won't really bother me, but that state of mind is kind of fragile. </p>
<p>I think that's the third post in a row I've read from you that's felt like it came from my own keyboard. It's kind of freaky.</p>
<p>Do you guys think that all the decisions have been made/finalized yet?</p>
<p>Rhapsody In Green: I'm sort of glad that someone else feels the same way, but I'm sorry, too, because it's not really a fun place to be. :eek:</p>
<p>diehldun, I read that Harvard would finalize the decisions on the 21st, so I would assume that Princeton will do it around that time as well.</p>
<p>Thank you, freshelephant.</p>
<p>My son doesn't want me looking over his shoulders either, and I wouldn't do it. I will be at least a floor away, perhaps out of the house. I know this is an amazingly stressful time. </p>
<p>Think positive everyone and remember, no matter how corny it may sound..wherever you are meant to end up, that's where you are going. I remember that I really wanted to go to a particular college, but my father said I had to go to the state university where a couple of my sisters had gone. I was disappointed for a while. But I ended up meeting my future husband on the first day of school at college. So, a few kids later, I believe it was where I was meant to be. Good luck everyone.</p>
