<p>Are the letters by Fedex or priority or DHL? i have heard all three versions of the story...</p>
<p>From last year: it was via Priority Mail.</p>
<p>i got my acceptance package from princeton by priority mail. columbia used fedex.</p>
<p>Decision: Waitlisted (the agony!)</p>

[</em>] major strength/weakness: good scores and grades, good EC's (3 sports, math team winner of many contests, etc.)
[li] why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: P-ton already accepted two people w/ 1600 SAT scores from my school (haha i guess the 1580 wasn't good enough!)[/li] [/ul]Other Factors: I got into Yale, Penn, Duke, and Schreyer....but I like Princeton too.....I guess I'll have to wait until June 30!</p>
<p>ACCEPTED WOOHOO!!!!
test:1390/ 29/ 730/660/630
rank:3/57
GPA:3.67uw/5.5w
Other schools: Yale (waitlisted), Columbia (rejected), UMiami, UPenn, Cornell, NYU, and Smith (accepted)</p>
<p>*Still kind of shocked that I did get in. Cruising on CC really gets you thinking you're not as good as all the other candidates, but I guess Princeton saw that I was. Wish I could go to there April hosting thing, but I'm already scheduled at another school :{.
Anyways, CONGRADULATIONS to all who were accepted!!! To those who didn't: y'all will most likely end up somewhere just as great so don't fret.</p>
<p>whoa how do u have a 5.5 w? are weighted A's more than 5.0 on ur scale?</p>
<p>Rejected, here.</p>
<p>just got rejected.................................................. :(!</p>
<p>rejected..........</p>
<p>getting rejected sucks (i was rejected by HYM)</p>
<p>but getting in kicks ass!</p>
<p>anonymou5: I honestly don't know...Until i came on CC I though that was how every school in the country was like......at my school and A in honors is a 5 instead of a 4 and an A in AP is a 6 in stead of a 4.......whatever that means.....</p>
<p>Fun fact in response to the person who was surprised that Priority Mail got to west coast overnight...last year the USPS contracted with FedEx for 100% of Priority Mail shipments. </p>
<p>Decision: REJECTED!!!</p>

[</em>] major strength/weakness: I didn't have any leadership EC's, and my EC's in general were typical. I tried to make up for it with two art supplements (paintings) though, but obviously it didn't matter.
[li] why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: I don't know, can you ever tell?[/li][/ul]Other Factors:** I would just like to point out that after my deferral, I sent them a deferral-reversal letter, a second art supplement, tried to schedule a second interview, and sent a creative brochure about myself. BASTARDS!!</p>
<p>It's either Cornell (which I really really want) or NYU now. It all comes down to finaid. <em>sigh</em> I feel like I've been dumped by a particularly unfeeling man, who just plum threw our babies (my paintings - I just realized that every one of my best paintings I painted for Princeton, to complete those art supplements) in my face.</p>
<p>rejected.... Berkeley it is! :)</p>
<p>GO BEARS!</p>
<p>so first it was all positive news and now it's all negative. :( My sincere condolences guys. Ptonruby....maybe i'll see you at cornell</p>

hao, I know what you are feeling. I was thinking the same thing reading all this and then you said that. I guess the acceptences are pretty much out by now? bad news for us who have nothing yet.</p>
<p>My D. heard an acceptance this morning in CA. Good luck to you all tomorrow who have not yet heard. I only tell you this as you seem to be the kind of kids who prefer some data to no data.</p>

Congrats on your daughter's acceptance though!</p>
<p>Oh yes. Sunday:) Thanks on the congrats and a reiteration of the good luck wish.</p>
