<p>I second what cap said. Seriously. Even if you start losing hope (which I hope you don't), I won't. Princeton's deferred ED RD acceptance rate puts you above the rest of the RD apps, so take heart in that. Please. I love you :(</p>
<p>so legendofmax, you and zant, are you like a collegeconfidential couple? just a question.</p>
<p>O man, zante, you have the same stats as me pretty much. I'm gonna be deferred. GL in the RD pool!</p>
<p>We are boyfriend/girlfriend. She's coming to visit me in 4 days and she's staying for two weeks! Happyyy</p>
<p>I can't stand reading all of this jubilation. Wherever I get in, I doubt it will make me as happy as getting into princeton would have. Enjoy Princeton, accepted CC people, and make the most of if. I likely will not share the experience with you.</p>
<p>oh, cav, that's how i feel right now completely. every time i read another happy post i get really sad and feel hopeless.... hopefully this will pass in a few days and i can get cracking on more supplements but, right now, it's the pits...</p>
<p>big love to all you miserable deferrees... i swear deferral is the lowest level of hell, right with cassius, brutus, and judas....</p>
<p><3 <3 we need it the most !!</p>
<p>edit: 777 posts... odd... not a good sign for it to happen on this post</p>
<p>My fellow deferred friends, don't lose hope. In the past few hours, although I have gotten no work done, I've realized a lot. I got over this little, psh, deferral, and I'm going to work hard on my other apps. I went through with Legendofmax the reasons why we love our other schools and now I honestly believe that I can be happy, and love another school just as much as I have loved pton (gasp i know). Let's be here for each other througout the next three and a half months. I know we'll all be happy and I hope we get to have that cup of coffee some day (if not at frist, then at a starbucks somewhere lol). ::hugg::::love:: :p</p>
<p>aww^^ (absolutely no sarcasm intended if it looks that way)</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! In the words of Tolkien, "Fare well, wherever you fare!" </p>
<p>As for me, I'll drop by around this board sometimes, but I'm probably moving over to Columbia. However, I doubt I will ever visit CC as much again (maybe I'll return to my former haunt at the SAT board to help out young juniors). I've learned to accept that I am most likely not getting into Pton (tho I sure as hell will try), and I'm working hard on my other apps now and suggest you all do the same. Maybe I'll see some of you at wherever it is I end up!</p>
<p><em>tears</em> Wow such a beautiful message by both Zante and phantom (I love the Tolkien quote). While you will not be posting as much, any advice/console/help for us juniors is greatly needed, were just little lost sheep. I have learned a lot spending a good year lurking the pton forum, and I do hope you visit me next year every now and then.</p>
<p>You have to be learn to be happy with what you have and where you are... hopefully this college application process will be a good lesson of this. There are so many good schools we can go to.</p>
<p>If you could do me a big favor, I would appreciate it. My friend Chris, a rejectee to Columbia ED has totally got this thing figured out, and could you please read her thread on accepting and moving on?

<p>I think you'll gain some insight that you can't learn 2 hours after you find out your decision</p>
<p>Dang, zante and legend. Sorry for hitting on you.. kind of, zante. i didn't know. PLEASE DON'T BEAT ME UP, LEGEND! I DIDN"TKNOW! I THOUGHT SHE WAS AVAILABLE! I think i ll go cry in the corner now.</p>
<p><em>cracks knuckles</em> Hitting on my girlfriend! Why I oughtta... hey look I have a chocolate bar <em>munch munch</em></p>
<p>AWWWWWWWW.... HOW CUTE. if i was a girl, i would like you too. or if i was gay. but im not. sucks to be you then, huh? Get it? hehehehe... jk zante... or was i?</p>
<p>legend, pass the chocolate over here. you know you want to... <em>cajoles</em></p>
<p>we're in some dire straights here, needing chocolate like no other.</p>
<p>I hate this "not knowing" business. I can't think or study or do anything, really. M'eh.</p>
<p>But maybe I could eat chocolate.... =)</p>
<p>zante...</p>
<p>you're going to make me cry...and that's an evil evil thing to do to a small and helpless colleague who got deferred as well. :( You wouldn't abandon me without a nemesis, would you, would you?</p>
<p>darling, if Princeton doesn't recognize you for the treasure you are, then it does not deserve you. you are more than a few pieces of paper that say nothing but numbers, read by faceless, nameless people who do not know you. </p>
<p>perhaps it will shake itself and realize its mistake come April. maybe it won't. but please don't be sad (and leave us). Please?</p>
<p><em>sniff sniff</em></p>
<p>even if i had applied, I don't like chocolate</p>
<p>celebrian. you are not allowed to be a woman. </p>
<p>chocolate makes the world go round. <em>offers zante chocolate</em></p>
<p>I like chocolate.
<em>passes chocolate all around</em></p>
<p>oh tebro, I never thought I'd say this, but I kinda like you now. Yes, we'll still be nemeses. Deferrees unite! lol </p>
<p>Kinda sad since on my buddy list, i have a group with all the CC people called "CCers Unite" I guess we aren't so united now...but I don't hate any of you (well I'm annoyed at the new people who signed up just to brag and who seem to not deserve it and got in only becuase of legacy). It's ok Hobbes, plenty of people hit on me...what? Legend? More chocolate? Here you goo (you know I was kidding honey) </p>
<p>Anyways, I'll be around sporadically, and I think I'll hit up the Yale/Brown/Columbia/Gtown boards once this whole early stuff settles in (I don't wanan be there during the chaos)... but I don't know if I'll have a home board. I'd kinda like to just wander, and love all my schools and see what happens. Being dedicated to one was fun, but it has also been painful, so I shall try not to hurt myself again. Wish me luck, lovies.</p>
