[li] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: God only knows...[/li][/ul]Other Factors:
None that I can think of... General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:
WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Congratulations everyone!</p>
<p>Greco, I predict that you will get rejected. Sorry if I'm harsh. But, from last year's thread and this thread, it seems that accepted and deferred applicants get the letter first, and then rejected ones get it much later. Again, sorry. Don't hate me for this...But, maybe you will get accepted. Who knows? Keep your hopes up!</p>
<p>Good..Princeton can bite me....I don't want to go there anymore.....how come someone already got theirs and they were rejected..? The way they handled this is so unprofessional.....seriously....this is Bullshi*, ok, I would rather go to Columbia than Pton, i ED'd to the wrong school, it's all clear now...</p>
<p>one person got rejected, and i assume he's international. he must got his information from his email. second, do you think this is bad? think about MIT kids- their letters got lost in the blizzard. How bad is that? Huh?</p>
<p>hairypotty I think you've just brought a man on the point of suicide. I sincerely don't think that was the best thing to say to Greco. You don't need to upset him with something that hasn't been proved yet. it's such a vague speculation! let the man live! at least till he gets his envelope!</p>
<p>the very best luck to you Greco ;) !!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Greco... how can you be so quick to assume that Princeton is the reason you haven't gotten your letter? A girl on my street applied last year and she didn't get her letter for several days after everyone else had gotten their's. Turns out that it was because of a mail problem; she went to the post office and they found it for her (she got in btw). Princeton mails everything out at the same time, and I doubt that they arbitrarily decided not to mail you anything. Meanwhile, please stop ranting about how horrible Princeton is because you haven't gotten your letter yet; no disrespect intended, but we don't really want to hear it. If getting your letter a day or two later than everyone else is all it takes for you to hate Princeton, then why did you ED there?</p>
<p>Greco, is a man first of all hairypotty, it doesn't matter .... I'm sending out my other apps out right now, so I don't care Pton has proved inept to me....i'm not to the point of suicide, i just don't give a damn...i dont even really want to go to Pton so much anymore....NYU and Pton will be a decision for me...I will compare.....</p>
