<p>Does anyone feel they still have a good chance?</p>
<p>Personally, I'm of the thinking that if they wanted someone they would have taken when they had a chance, and would not risk them going somewhere else. It's equally disheartening when you look at how much of the class has already been filled and the overall single-digit acceptance rate of RD/ED deferrals.</p>
<p>...although I don't know much about this stuff. Is my reasoning wrong?</p>
<p>apparently 10-14% of deferries are accepted. That means from 140-200 will be accepted. Maybe more like 110-170 this year, considering the size of the applicant pool.</p>
<p>i really hope i get in, but i doubt it cuz i didnt do anything after i was deferred. i mean, the letter said that i could send them some stuff and my college counselor told me to write a letter too. but i had nothing to say and i was lazy..i'm regretting right now, but oh well.. </p>
<p>and somewhere on the website said that they reject only a few amount of ed applicants, so i doubt many deferries will get in. <em>knock on wood</em></p>
<p>but best of luck to you, teedit! :D</p>
<p>And yes, I'm still holding out hope.</p>
<p>Yes I actually have more hope for Princeton than some of my other schools. <em>coughyalecough</em></p>
<p>Princeton is still my #1 choice, but I am 99% sure that I will be rejected. Meh. Their loss! ;)</p>
<p>what are deferries?</p>
<p>Would to God that the 100 or so deferrees to be accepted come from this group...<em>begins Gregorian chants</em></p>
<p>That's actually such a scary thought...that only 100 deferrees will be taken O.o</p>
<p><em>feels hopeless</em></p>

That's how I feel about it too, Cav. <em>shrugs</em></p>
<p>"Deferries" made me think of "de-furries" which made me think of heads being shaved. I think my mental connections might be just a bit off tonight. =P (to pull a shrek)</p>
<p>Oh, and stuffed animals, too! When I was little I had a bit of sheepskin I loved that I called "Furry" - it sort of functioned as a security blanket. Random, I know.</p>
<p>I think I have a semi-decent shot, I sent in a lot of stuff to princeton</p>
<p>gracey and cavalier i am 99.999999% surte that they will accept u! =P</p>
<p>enco, just tell them that u have a growth deficiency and that it has caused u a lotta problems =P hahahaha just kidding! automatic acceptance!</p>
<p>wat is the RD acceptance rate anyhow?</p>
<p>hah growth rate deficiency? ***??? i'm 6 feet</p>
<p>oh. :( ur tall!</p>
<p>Haha, I'm only 5'4 (well 5'3.5 but I round up). Maybe they'll accept you, Enc, in order to heighten the Princeton gene pool, since 70% of grads supposedly marry one another.</p>
<p>And thanks for the confidence, shrek. :)</p>
<p>.............</p>
<p><em>knocks on wood</em></p>
<p><em>passes bottle of Hope to zante</em> And it smells really good, too. Try it! It's the newest thing: instead of just having hope, you can wear it too!</p>
<p>And wow, for some reason I'd imagined you as about 5'8-5'10, lisae. Thanks for ruining my mental image of you! :( :p But you're still pretty, and that's all that matters, as cap would say.</p>

5'10?! I would have loved to be so tall. My mother is 5'9, so genetically, somewhere down the line, she dropped the ball (!). But if it's any consolation for your now-shattered mental image, I often wear heels that make me about 5'7...</p>
<p>Thanks for the compliment. I'd send a similar one right back at ya' but you already know that the P takes only the most handsome of men. :p</p>
<p>P.S. I miss Cap; he needs to come back and be obnoxiously endearing again.</p>
<p>wow I imagined you as really tall too! you looked tall in your pictures</p>
<p>Haha. This is true, on all accounts. I may have to speak to your mother about her genetic contributions...but you know, short(er) people are nice too! They can climb under things I could only hope to get through :D</p>
