</code></pre>
<p>there by the end of next week, please let us know. We look forward to meeting you next year!
Once again, congratulations. We are pleased to be sending you this splendid news, and especially to be welcoming you to Princeton.</p>
<p>You will forgive me if I don't use the normal template to post. I'm just too disappointed, too gutted, too bitter to make the effort.</p>
<p>Decision: Deferred.</p>
<p>Stats: SAT I: 2300
SAT II: Physics- 780 Maths 2C- 780 Chemistry- 750
GPA: Not applicable
Rank: 4/37
Other stats: Junior Science Talent Search Scholarship, National Talent Search Scholarship, 5th Rank at the Regional Mathematical Olympiad.</p>
<p>Subjective:
Essays: I'd rate them 8/10
Reccomendations: 9/10
Counsellor Rec: Not all that great. She hates me, I hate her, and now I hate her enough to kill her.
Hook: Minor... a letter of reccomendation from a Professor at P'Ton. Seems it didn't do any good at all.</p>
<p>Location/Person:
Country: India
School type: Private
Ethnicity: Indian
Gender: Male</p>
<p>Other factors: None that I can think off</p>
<p>Congratulations, all of you who got in. Best of Luck to all who got deferred. Goodbye everybody.</p>
<p>ok, i cant believe this, i wrote down my school address in CT as the mailing address so i can receiv the letter soon enough. but they now emailed me that they already sent the decision to my home in China! Why does this happen! Why would they take the long way?</p>
<p>always,<br>
Some people have mentioned that they would hate to get bad news on the phone, but that would always be an option rather than waiting for re-routed international mail. You have to give P'ton your soc. sec. # & such to receive it via phone.</p>
<p>and they also told me that they probobly wont be able to email me the decision until friday, oh god, why do they keep torturing me?</p>
<p>I'm currently reading this in my school's study period and needless to say, I'm AFRAID as anything. In 2.5 hrs, I shall know my fate when I open the mailbox. Although every logical part of me tells me to keep my hopes tamed, I just keep DREAMING of getting in. I can hardly remember the last time I've been so out of touch with reason.</p>
<p>That said, congrats to everyone that got in! I'm sure you guys deserved it. As for those with worse luck...no fear: stay strong and someday, I'm sure the world will be yours (or, as I should say, "ours").</p>
<p>....still can't wait to know!</p>
<p>F*** It I need to vent!!</p>
<p>It seems that everyone getting accepted early (from last year, plus a few from this year) has a 1500+ SAT and 750+ SAT IIs........</p>
<p>Me: 1440 M+CR :(</p>
<p>Hopefully my avg 770 SAT IIs help</p>
