<p>Guilty/intimidated because you get in while so many other brilliant people get rejected?</p>
<p>Ever since the shock of getting in subsided, I've been in that state.</p>
<p>In ... less than two days.. I hope to be in that position! <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>I think that I'll definitely be intimidated, but I think that if I am lucky enough to get in I better make the best use of it by contributing as much as I can with my own "talents!" =D</p>
<p>Most, most definitely. At first it was a ton of guilt, and then the intimidation started rolling in. I think the guilt is going to come back as friends get their RD decisions, though so far they've been mostly acceptances (for non-Ivies).</p>
<p>No guilt. I didn't pick myself and not them... an admissions officer did that. </p>
<p>Lots of intimidation though.</p>
<p>im scared for my life...hopefully ill still be alive tommorow morning</p>
<p>Hey guys, current freshman here ('10). I was thrown aback when I got in! It wasn't because I didn't believe I was Princeton caliber... but b/c the applicant pool is just brimming with thousands of highly qualified students. It really is something I'm thankful for!! Good luck to the RDers! :D</p>
<p>I feel pretty bad considering my stats look pretty bad
a gpa of 3.3 and sat 1880 and i got in
but i feel better cuz everyone at school digs the fact i got in</p>
<p>I feel really guilty, mainly because I was accepted 10 places and I'm going to have to turn 9 of them down. When I applied to 11 schools in December, I was planning on being accepted to perhaps 3 or 4 and then maybe 'getting lucky' at the rest. I am still appalled at how lucky I am.</p>
<p>One kid at my school is an absolute genius and has literally not had a life for the last four years so that he could get into Harvard and the like. He hangs out with people outside of school maybe once every other month, and it's mainly because his dad makes him do homework and things. He is one of the smartest and most hard-working people I've ever met, and he was only accepted one place (Boston College) out of 8 choices with a 2380 SAT, straight 800s on his SAT IIs, and a 4.0 GPA. I just feel guilty because I'm such a slacker and I skate by without really studying for tests...if I read information once I'll remember it, so we would be up late the night before a test and I would be watching Grey's Anatomy while he is frantically studying and then I would get a better grade. That's a horribly convoluted sentence. Anyway, I do feel guilty and sometimes I wish I could give away some of my acceptances to people who would love them, since I can only use...one.</p>
<p>Regardless, I am so thankful and (still) ecstatic that I got into Princeton. It makes me smile just thinking about it.</p>
