<p>^^ Re Post #1218</p>
<p>I don't doubt the veracity of your report, but it directly contradicts the reports from yesterday that some students who were not called will be admitted. I guess only time will tell and that time is imminent.</p>
<p>Yes, that's what I thought too...unless they finished calls by today or something. My regional admission officer will not be around until June, so I called them whether that made a difference...and the woman on the phone said that they would have contacted admitted students regardless of presence/absence of regional officer...</p>
<p>I am still holding out some hope. Good luck!</p>
<p>To reiterate my question: do you know any international students who have been admitted?</p>
<p>Junto90: I don't know of any.</p>
<p>How will the letters come? by fedex? cuz my whole family doesn't believe that my acceptance isn't just a dream until we can see that d*** letter!</p>
<p>I'm from CA.</p>
<p>By Waitwhat?</p>
<p>"How will the letters come? by fedex? cuz my whole family doesn't believe that my acceptance isn't just a dream until we can see that d*** letter!"</p>
<p>Well, just to draw out the agony and suspense a little more, I've heard that they are using Pony Express this year.</p>
<p>This is so weird!</p>
<p>First access number incorrect, then able to log in, then today it says also says USER not found!</p>
<p>What are you guys getting from the admitted student's page?</p>
<p>if you already got in, please don't claim to be worried about receiving your package. it really seems trivial to those who still have heard nothing</p>
<p>Cograts to all the admittees and their parents!
But, since I'm very disappointed right now, please allow me to complain a little! Can some one please explain why the need for putting so many students through the agony of waiting again and again? I believe the wording was "couple hundreds" were placed on the list? Even with the so claimed uncertainty in yield rate this year, and taking into account of the % of people who chooses not to remain on the wait-list, is that amount really necessary?</p>
<p>I agree with JohnC completely. It's actually really childish and annoying that people complain about not getting their packages when others still haven't heard anything at all.</p>
<p>Also, it vexes me to read posts by parents who plan to keep their kids from seeing a rejection. You guys sound like helicopter parents. I think you need to let your kids experience success and rejections. Obviously, how you raise your kids is up to you, but in the long run, I think it would be beneficial to everyone if students engaged themselves in the process... without parents.</p>
<p>I agree about the packages. </p>
<p>As for the rejection, if a kid has their heart really set on a school, I can see how the parent would want to protect them from the hurt, but in the end, you can't.</p>
<p>I guess a helicopter parent is one who hovers??</p>
<p>asymetriclove-As a parent, I hear you. I have been following this site like a hawk, or as you would say a helicopter, but my s could care less about watching it. He continually says, what will be done, will be done--we parents often take things harder. As you have probably heard a lot, someday you will probably experience some of these feelings. My s is my oldest so separation to somewhere is coming real soon. It is a sad time for parents, but as my wise son says, the problem would be if I didn't want to leave! ....................................so please bear with us parents that are concerned for our own kids and for all of you on this site. It is a hard thing to watch such wonderful, bright kids be told they are not accepted at a school they all deserve to be at. I know all of you will be fine-------as will all of us parents.</p>
<p>I'm sorry that earlier today I voiced my son's concern about getting some solid evidence that he has actually gained admittance. When everyone in your circle (through word of mouth) knows that you have been offered admittance into a certain school, there is an overwhelming fear that what if there's been some kind of mistake. Of course I totally don't believe that there was any kind of mistake made, but my son is worried that he'll be a laughing stock if somehow he doesn't get the package. I wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad or was I trying to brag. I guess I am a helicopter parent, but only because I love him and want him to be happy.</p>
<p>Bingo, bluemom, but there are different levels of helicoptering. I prefer the five hundred foot view myself. :-)</p>
<p>I know emmabelle!</p>
<p>Q. What would u get if u crossed a bleumom with an emmabelle? LOL</p>
<p>The thing everyone has to remember is that whatever happens is meant to happen. Thats it!</p>
<p>It saddens me to see so many upset people. Everyone should have the right to express their concerns, even at the risk of hurting someones feelings. I have not read any derogatory remarks towards any individual, only upset feelings because of what appears to be envy. ALL questions and concerns are valid to the individual who is posting, please be courteous and polite to everyone's opinions. </p>
<p>I understand how nerve racking it can be as a student to wonder and wonder about such an important event in your life. I also understand how nerve racking it is for a parent who is wondering the same thing about their child. </p>
<p>The same way that a poster thinks that a parent should not hover over a child so they can experience rejection and learn to deal with it (I agree with this) then those individuals should also learn to deal with the fact that not everyone will be accepted.</p>
<p>These threads have been a tremendous help to so many. Let's keep the positive input and advice coming. </p>
<p>Remember we are all very concerned for the future of ourselves or our children or we wouldn't be on this site in the first place.</p>
<p>Best of luck to all</p>
<p>cheerMomS, to answer your post from yesterday:</p>
<p>My son is committed to Princeton. He doesn't even know that I am addicted to this site.</p>
<p>sorry to all for coming across as rude or heartless.
I think I'm just impatient - with the school and a bunch of other issues.</p>
