<p>yea because questbridge applicants would not send in nov test dates....i suppose... but I dont really know tho...its just my own little calculation</p>

22

<p>i think first a regional director first thoroughly reads your application (~30 minutes), and then the committee will start making decisions around december 1st (this only takes like 2 minutes per applicant)</p>

23

<p>so i read somewhere that some applications don't even get past the regional director onto Princeton.
is that true?</p>

24

<p>well IF they started reviewing applicants before dec, will they have already decided acceptance/rejection/deferral for some applicants by now? it would be very awkward if the thing i sent got there AFTER they already made their decision.</p>

25

<p>well, i agree with what the guys and gals before me said. U r not that bad. Altogether u r a very well-rounded applicant, with a tiny setback regarding ur sats. Well, i would suggest that u study hard and retake the sats. and in case u dont make it into pronceton or in case u r waitlisted, u can either apply to another equally good college or send in new info about u, that would enhance ur chances of getting in. Dont worry, be happy:)</p>

<p>certainly looks better than mine</p>

<p>o my gosh retake the SAT??!?!? AH that word wasnt supposed to exist anymore!!!! LOL i honestly wanted to be done w/ sat's forever. i most likely won't retake it, i want to focus on my interests more now. but MAYBE just maybe i will retake in january if i dunt get into Princeton (which i hope i do get in :))
*btw: dpes Princeton take highest SAT composite?</p>

<p>also, do my ECs show passion to u guys? i know my music def does in both instrumental skill as well as using it for community service, and the newsletter also, but i also emphasized research in my app, with my essay being about a "loss transforming into success" in my research career: how i became a true scientist rather than winning an award. do u think these things ring out "passion" in me? thanks.</p>

<p>forgot to add...... thx for ur support debate_addict :)</p>

<p>No no don't retake the SATs. Your scores are fine and you will look desperate of you retake it.</p>

<p>alright but i MAY retake an sat 2 on jan, ill think about it. but regarding my interests, do u see "passion" in em, or is there something more i could work on? thx</p>
