[li] why you think you were accepted/rejected/deferred: I think I was deferred because of my weak ECs, but I did write a deferral letter and all, and I did visit with a photo professor after deferral but I'm not sure if the adcom even knew about that.[/li][/ul]Other Factors:
I am SO happy! And little boys and girls, this proves that deferral is not the end (I still have the deferral letter, cut up in shreds on my desk...)</p>

<p>Other Factors: my dad is a low-level administration employee at Princeton University, working with that professor at princeton, and getting a rec from that professor, oh and of course already owning an email address @princeton.edu w000tt</p>
<p>the decision was so unexpected, i already was debating whether i should go to columbia or penn engineering. VERY HAPPY!!!! w00000t.
=P</p>
<p>sorry i was too lazy to use the eye-friendly format</p>
<p>Decision: ACCEPTED!!!!! (also accepted at Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, Duke, Rice, WashU St. Louis) Man this is freaking unbelievable (is this what being high means?) Thank GOD! I must have done something right in another life because I can't explain it. 10/10 That means the college that I pick will have an admittance rate of 10% this is FREAKING UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p>

[li] why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: I had an awesome interview with the interview coordinator for CT. I didn't think scores could have this much weight,especially for someone Asian. Clerical error?[/li][/ul]Other Factors:</p>
<p>yequals- test scores really arent everything. i was rejected from MIT, harvard and yale, i think my connections at princeton really helped me get accepted there. and that dude with a 1400 is valedictorian and has some unique stuff under his belt. i really thought i would be rejected, because the other elite schools rejected me. im hoping i get my choice between pton and stanford. yo stanford should get here in NJ about the same time ur princeton decision reaches cali, nice.</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone who was accepted. I didn't get anything in the mail today, so since I live on the eastcoast (VA) I'm assuming I was rejected. :(</p>
<p>Noel- same here-- VA and no news, although i got letters from cornell, columbia, and harvard today... it's weird that nothing from princeton came.</p>

Hey guys, I thought I'd put together a few Princeton links and also an easy code that you can directly copy/paste into your results posts, if deleting all the bracketed spaces is a little too much. Once I figure out how to redirect, this will be located at tigerfrosh.cjb.net.</p>
