Official Princeton RD Decisions - Class of '11

<p>or j07????</p>

<p>yeah, she's on the chat we set up--in at dartmouth, waitlisted at swarthmore, hasn't checked princeton yet (even though god knows I'm trying to get her to!)</p>

<p>rejected
wow</p>

<p>I meant camelia, not j07: j07 is nowhere to be found!</p>

<p>I'm here, but I'm still too scared (or in denial) to check my decision. :o
Swarthmore waitlisted me, but I'm not too bothered by it because... I was accepted to Dartmouth with the most generous financial aid package so far!
I'm going to check that Princeton decision eventually. I'm just a bit shaky right now. :eek:</p>

<p>edit: btlesgirl got here before me... but yes, I will check, and hopefully soon, but I'm so scared to.</p>
