<p>This waiting is killing me. I keep overanalyzing stuff in my head. At this point in time I think with my SAT scores (2200) and my mediocre essays, I will be deferred from Princeton. The only glimpse of hope I have is that Princeton admission is very random, so I really dont know what is going to happen. I just want to know already so I can move on. I feel that my essays, while decent, are not enough to make me stand apart. I dont think they show my passion for rocketry enough or my personality. Thanks for letting me rant fellow CCers, I know we all probably feel the same way.</p>
<p>I hear you!!!!!
Plus I'm getting anxious that if I wait until I hear from Princeton to send my SAT scores to my RD schools, they won't get there in time, even though my GC INSISTS they will, and it's really bugging me so much that I'm probably just going to get up in the middle of the night and do it anyway.
I am a bundle of nerves, and we still have 2 weeks to go!!!!</p>
<p>i am soooo stressed out. i wonder whether princeton would send me my decision if i got a therapist to tell the admissions committee that i am going insane....</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>woot -.-" Same boat (2200)!</p>
<p>Lol, it sucks that we all cant get in. I really think I will be deferred, had I made my main essay better I would have been alright. I wrote my essay for 3 months and the one I wrote in 3 hours for MIT is much better.</p>
<p>I'm relying on my ACT (35), not my SAT (2230). I hope admissions doesn't differentiate!</p>
<p>oh i know i feel you guys. man my 1850 sat score and my average essays are making me so anxious.....man i hope my 3.7 GPA can pull me through...ha</p>
<p>I spent a good deal of time on my essays, and also sent in a CD of websites and other short projects I've created. I'm hoping that'll be enough to minimize the effect of a low 2200 (though I had a 1540/1600 so it shouldn't be <em>that</em> bad)</p>
<p>Actually, I am completely calm now. I've stopped worrying about it after I saw those questbridge applicants get rejected. I've decided it's pretty much impossible for anyone to get into Princeton (unless they are Ghandi or something), so... I've sent my SAT scores to all of my RD schools already and am now furiously working on the essays. Not that those schools are any easier to get accepted to, lol, but you've gotta give yourself options...</p>
<p>hmmm i am on the wire of hope that the QB decisions were just way harder.</p>
<p>btw, exactly how many people applied QB to Princeton this year? How many got in?</p>
<p>2 got into Princeton through QB, not sure how many Princeton QB applicants there were.</p>
<p>errr....any one of you have finished RD round applications? just wondering amongst all the other "elite" schools, which ones require scheduleing interview before the application submission?</p>
<p>i don't know what i'm thinking anymore. haha. ahh next week is going to be so hard to get through. i doubt i am going to get in but the more i think about it, the more i want to go to princeton.. and it's killing me because i am trying to prepare myself for rejection/deferral ..but it's not really working x_X</p>
<p>I've only gotten two RD's done...I really don't want to do the rest...yet another reason to get into princeton :)</p>
<p>I'd complain about my stats but people would just yell at me for being insecure :P</p>
<p>But I hear that someone at my school also applied ED - and falsified info. Which means major suckage for me. I'm hoping it's just a rumor...</p>
<p>wait....u mean somone lied? as in...on their app?</p>
<p>Well, what I've been hearing is pure speculation with very weak evidence... but yes, lied on the app. And there's no true way to verify.</p>
<p>Let's say that Princeton does decide to check, and calls the club president.</p>
<p>A.) President doesn't want to ruin someone's chances, and supports student.
B.) President lies, student says that president is just mad at them, student gets another member (read: friend) to back up story.
C.) Princeton gets annoyed and blacklists the school for whatever reason.</p>
<p>I doubt that a few clubs would change an outcome, but it's still wrong. I also hope that my chances won't be compromised. </p>
<p>Again, it's 95% speculation, so... yeah. Personally, knowing the personality of the person in question, I would normally be supportive and would have never thought that this would be the case...</p>
<p>Yea, after those QB decisions the process became more real somehow (I think OMZ said this :p) and I definitely re-invigorated my push to get RD apps done. If I don't get in (or "when", as I've been saying lately), I know I won't want to fill out RD apps, so I want to get as much done as possible before next Friday. </p>
<p>AAAAAAAH! Next Friday? I just realized how close the decisions are :eek:</p>
<p>More like, "Next Friday?? I haven't even started my Stanford essays yet!!"</p>
<p>Wow that falsifying stinks. Its ok to exaggerate or leave out info, but when you add stuff that isnt true thats purely immoral. Good luck to you. Whoamg. Does anyone know if the higher engineering acceptance rate ED is true?</p>
