<p>Bump!!!!! Bump</p>

3

<p>well if you got into Princeton, I'm assuming you'll have to go there. ED after all.</p>

4

<p>Um, your screenname is PrincetonFreak, you got into Princeton. Since both schools have a similar cost, I do not understand why you do not attend your apparent first choice school Princeton?</p>

</p>

<p>lol, what?</p>

6

<p>I know Mu, everyone seems to hate that part but its a fact of life and you know it</p>

7

<p>not for most people living in a rural city... I did mine all by myself</p>

8

<p>To be honest, I would feel bad <em>paying</em> somebody to check my essay. It is alright to let a few people proofread it and give some comments. But money is different; I would not want to "buy" myself into MIT.</p>

<p>OP...</p>

<p>It doesn't matter... If you got into Princeton ED (Binding!!!!!!), you're going there. Don't worry about MIT, cause you're definitely wont be in Boston next Fall.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>You have to withdraw your other apps asap. Princeton will catch you somehow if you don't. Princeton's ED gives a much higher chance of an applicant to get in to the school because it shows your commitment. If MIT does accept you, they'll de-accept you once Princeton tracks your ssn down.</p>

11

<p>Didn't you already post this elsewhere? And get evaluations from other people as well?</p>

12

<p>er, what is your purpose after all? got accepted into Princeton? GO TO PRINCETON!!! why bother asking for chances at MIT? I got really ****ed off after i read the last line. Seriously, while other people are praying for their application, you got into PRINCETON and still ask for more. WHAT"S WRONG WITH YOU????</p>

13

<p>Um, you have to go to Princeton. You applied there ED. It's binding. You also are required to withdraw your MIT application immediately.</p>

14

<p>Your chance: 0, since you got into Princeton. </p>

<p>You might want to withdraw your MIT app NOW, or you won't have a school to go to next fall.</p>

<p>I'm not sure you should be allowed to go to Princeton next year, if you don't even understand what EARLY DECISION means.</p>

15

<p>Haha the OP got flamed on the WAMC board already for paying for his essays. In fact, the discourse escalated such that the mods recently closed it.</p>

16

<p>this guy's obviously a troll. He posted asking his chances for Princeton on Christmas, so there's no way he coulda gotten in ED.</p>

17

<p>You guys are crazy.. I wrote all my essays on my own accord, and only got my parents, who grew up in a non-English speaking country I might add, to proof-read them - I truly wish there was space to mention that in the application :(</p>

18

<p>Indians tend to be crazy when it comes to college admissions. I can attest to that directly and authoritatively. :)</p>

19

<p>vrumchev. Yeah I did that with some of my essays, but even if you were able to put that down on the application, I don't think that admissions officers would find that impressive. One thing about being a good student is to always ask for help. You could have asked a teacher to proof read your essays.</p>

<p>kinda hard to do when formal school ended for you in late October :)</p>
