<p>i should be happier than if i were rejected,,, but now i think getting rejeccted would be better for my mental health.,,,</p>
<p>Calm down. It's the holiday season, and the USPS will take a little longer. The people you mentioned do not live much further from Princeton, so it's probably just your local mail carrier that is slow.</p>
<p>Would you please post the content of your acceptance letter? Is is in regular envelope or big packet?</p>

[li] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: Too many Asian pianists :)[/li][/ul]Other Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: Congrats to those who got in. I'm not shocked that I was deferred, and I learned a few valuable lessons for my future college apps. Piano is a tough instrument simply because so many applicants play it. The types of musicians Princeton needs are those who play the harp or the didigeroo, really obscure instruments. Also, Asian-American is a brutal demographic (and I'm not Chinese or Indian). </p>
<p>Oh well. That's probably my last post in the Princeton forum. I'm looking forward to applying to my #1 school (tied with Princeton):</p>

<p>Big envelope for acceptance? I thought they sent out everything (both acceptance and rejection) in regular size envelope?</p>
<p>I know. That's what they told that kid's mom. Those lying bastards. Jesus, now I'm getting very very nervous. Sorry - I'll stop rambling in this "official" thread or whatever it is.</p>
<p>I vowed I wouldn't go on here this week. I lied.</p>
<p>I'm so scared. I honestly can't take the anticipation. I'm on the point of tears and have been randomly snapping at everyone.</p>
<p>This...needs to end.</p>
<p>Can anyone explain why i didn't receive my letter yet and I LIVE IN NJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Pyramid, it's ok...i've been p***ed off at the world all day....mainly b/c I'm the only Jerseyan who hasnt received the damn thing yet......</p>
<p>its probably your mailman's fault</p>
