Decisions: March 29th, ONLINE

<p>Me too.
I love verbosity. Is that even a word?
Mmm words. The other day I started making a list of words I really love, and right now I only have 300 but it's pretty awesome.</p>

<p>that's a good idea. i always hear words i like and then i forget them. i have goldfish memory capacity. :P</p>

<p>camelia, i know what you mean. if i don't get in i'll be pretty damn disappointed, but it's really dealing with all the people who'll come up and ask me if i got accepted or not that'll annoy me. </p>

<p>although, if i do get in they'll have no choice but to hear about it. :D</p>

<p>I'm kind of dreading telling people, regardless of the decision. No one really understands how difficult it is to get into an Ivy League, nor do they understand the desire I have to go to Princeton. So they won't understand it if I don't get in. On the other hand, I don't want to rub it in their faces and be really arrogant about it (that's not exactly nice, either!).</p>

<p>i know! but i'll be in too good a mood to notice! yeah, i don't think people will understand my euphoria either. i mean, to them i'll just have gotten into a "smart people university" or something.</p>

<p>same here...All my friends and teachers were convinced I would get in ED and now they keep asking when I find out. They have created a phone tree I have to call if accepted and I don't know what I will do if I am rejected. It will be a tough day of school if it comes to that.</p>

<p>At least three other people in my grade applied to Princeton (out of 50); three of us have it as our first choice... so if some of us get in and others don't, that'll be awkward, and if the guy who doesn't want to go there gets in and we don't, there'll be some serious drama.</p>

<p>Luckily my acceptance/rejection will be fairly drama free. If I do get in, I plan on just telling like one or two people and eventually everyone will know. Much easier when people are talking about you.</p>

<p>5 days, 4 hours, 42 minutes...</p>

<p>The time is ticking away far too slowly.</p>

<p>My decisions should be ok no matter what, but I would really like to get out of Michigan. I also want to have something to show for actually trying a bit in school, as I know that I could have done almost nothing and been able to get into Michigan.</p>

<p>I'm sure that getting asked if I got in only a few minutes after I check by everyone on the track team plus whoever feels like calling me and asking will be great. It could be really rough.</p>

<p>j07, add the word "squamous" to your list of favorite words. I wish I had put that on my princeton app. It is the most hilarious word ever.</p>

<p>Hahaha that is funny. Is that referring to one shape of muscular cells?
Squamous - just added to my list.</p>

<p>I'M SO ANTSY. I NEED TO GO BURN OFF SOME NERVOUS ANTICIPATORY ENERGY.</p>

<p>me too, at least I have a three day weekend so I don't have to be antsy at school as much</p>

<p>Not muscular cells...epithelial cells.</p>

<p>Gah you got me. I knew it was something about the shape of a cell and I couldn't stop thinking "striated squamous," which is probably incorrect, but who knows. I'm not a very good studier.</p>

<p>60-second post rule is slowly killing me.</p>

<p>High traffic can cause time warps though :), we were getting a little frantic over at the Indian Thread before MIT's decisions and I think it showed! (posts that had later timestamps appearing earlier and that sort of thing) (I'll join you in condemning the 60 sec rule)</p>

<p>^^Down with the 60 second rule! I want to get to 1000, and it's not helping at all! Though it does require you to make longer (and hopefully, more intelligent) posts.</p>

<p>Maybe we'll start a revolution or something... :)</p>

<p>I can just imagine the signs. So many posts-Gone in 60 seconds..</p>

<p>Forgive me, it's been a long day. :D</p>

<p>poster came back... muahahaha :D
Anyhow... 1 week from now!!
Good Luck y'all!! :)</p>

<p>Hey! Current Princeton freshman here. Just writing to wish you all the best of luck! I remember how I was feeling at around this time last year. It was a nerve racking yet exciting culmination to the infernal college application process. A sage word of advice: Whatever you do, don't get your hopes up! It's ok to be excited, but don't let the decision(s) destroy you. Be proud of yourselves for having the courage to apply Ivy. Every year the Ivies become more selective. Congrats and smooth sailing to all of you who are admitted (especially at Princeton). If you're not, remember that this is just undergrad. You'll thrive wherever you're admitted and I'm sure you can learn to be happy and successful. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>PM me if you'd like me to answer any questions you have about Princeton. I can also give you my AIM and e-mail. AH!! I'm living vicariously through you guys this week!!!! :)</p>

<p>Living vicariously pshaw! Voyeurs you are! :) </p>

<p>Not that we don't appreciate the advice really. :D</p>

<p>Haha living vicariously. I really hope that next year I can log back in to CC from my lovely Princeton dorm room (hopefully) and give sage words of wisdom (redundant?) to everybody freaking out.</p>

<p>And jon, you are going to get 1000 in the next like...day.</p>
