In what order will you be checking ivy decisions?

<p>Is it better to go from hardest to get into to least difficult? Or from most likely acceptance to lease likely? For the former, you hope you’ll end with an acceptance at the end but you have to deal with rejection straight up without anything to soften it. But, if you choose the latter, if you get rejected from “the easiest” then you feel screwed with the more difficult ones and might not be able to even check the rest.</p>

<p>H, P, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell. Or whatever I come across in my inbox first. I put H & P first though, to get all my expectations over with. (since I expect to be rejected at all of the Ivies, if I get into any I’ll just be ecstatic. If I don’t, well it’s expected)</p>

<p>Harvard–Princeton–Penn–Columbia–Dartmouth–Brown–Cornell</p>

<p>Already got Yale, UChicago, Stanford, MIT rejections…hopefully won’t get 7 more</p>

<p>^^^^^ Wow, seung, you applied to all 8 ivies plus Stanford and MIT? Just curious, but what were your safeties?</p>

<p>Since those school are all so different, what made you want to apply to all of them?</p>

<p>Also, props to making it through the application process with that many supplements :)</p>

<p>UPenn, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth, Columbia, Yale, Princeton, Harvard.</p>

<p>I only applied to 3. I plan on looking at my email around 5. If Harvard is in, I’ll take a gander. Otherwise, I’ll check out Princeton first. Cornell will be last. Since I already got a likely, it’ll make up for the other 2 rejections!</p>

<p>I’m checking starting from the school I think I wont get into to the schools I think I might have even small chance for</p>

<p>Princeton -> Columbia -> Penn</p>

<p>Columbia, Cornell , Princeton… aka… most prbly rejected, accepted, rejected…lol</p>

<p>Harvard, Princeton, then Dartmouth.</p>

<p>Perhaps the third one will lead to some sort of consoolation prize after the first two inevitable rejections. If all is naught, I’ll get to see my official Cornell acceptance.</p>

<p>I’m gonna check my mail around 5 too and if Harvard’s in, then I’ll look. However, assuming it doesnt come in my order will be:</p>

<p>Princeton (TOP CHOICE), Wharton, Harvard (if its in), Yale, Dartmouth, Brown (not even here till 7 tho)</p>

<p>I made a simple java random number generator to get the order of mine…I guess I’ll be checking Harvard, Princeton, and then Brown.</p>

<p>I’ll just check them in the order they arrive in my inbox. Isn’t that the easiest way? Let the Fates decide.</p>

<p>Did an online randomizer and got:</p>

<p>Dartmouth
Columbia
Harvard
Brown
Princeton
Penn
Yale</p>

<p>I was accepted to Princeton, and waitlisted at Stanford, so the only one I’ll be checking is Harvard.</p>

<p>Wait the decisions come to your email? I thought you had to log in. I’m utterly lost now. :-/</p>

<p>Harvard, Yale, Princeton (ascending order of chances)</p>

<p>I only applied to 4 schools from the US (MIT rejected me already :frowning: ), if all else fails, I’ll be going to Oxford. :3</p>

<p>@beautifulnerd</p>

<p>some of the Ivies - Harvard, for example - email their decisions. I assume it’ll be like the NU decision: a link to your decision, but no log-in involved.</p>

<p>Princeton requires that you log into their website for your decision, which is why people are freaking out about the server crashing what with the vast number of applicants flooding the connection.</p>

<p>My sister told me Princeton decision is on march31st</p>

<p>I’ll do Princeton (already know the answer), Yale, and then Harvard. Although it’ll be tough to do in that order b/c my email is always up. Hopefully things will end well, although I doubt they will.</p>

<p>i’ll be going with:

  1. princeton (i really hate orange. not even kidding, it’s a major deterrent for me haha so i won’t care that much about the likely rejection letter)
  2. columbia (my best shot <em>crosses fingers</em>)
  3. yale (won’t hurt nearly as much as…)
  4. harvard (<em>crosses fingers and toes and all bendable body parts and does nervous-excited-NERVOUS dance</em>)</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!! :)</p>
