<p>@ScienceDaddy thanks for making me laugh and stop sulking! Hope to be getting a shoutout on the big album. I’ll help you market to the NJ crowd. Maybe throw some minor shade at the princeton admissions committee?</p>
<p>So is anyone else planning to submit an art supplement? I’m looking to throw in an orchestral composition piece. The problem with those, I think, is that they only help if you’re a borderline admit. </p>
<p>lol at least one of the other kids from my school who applied SCEA to spite me got deferred too. cheers (idk about the second spiteful kid)</p>
<p>You guys are awesome. Truly are. </p>
<p>When I didn’t see that orange tiger, my heart sunk. It truly did. </p>
<p>Being deferred is painful. Knowing that we have 3 1/2 months until we know about RD is even more painful.</p>
<p>But, we’ll get through it.</p>
<p>I feel bad applying to other schools; its like I’m cheating on the woman who I love with all of my heart.</p>
<p>Lol. we are literally making history by being the coolest scea thread group ever </p>
<p>@ScienceDaddy we all love you</p>
<p>Sigh…I really love Princeton, but I’m not going to get my hopes up for RD. I knew it was a long shot. Like I posted in the other thread, I should have applied ED to Penn or Duke. 
</p>
<p>But best of luck to everyone as we finish first semester…and RD apps…</p>
<p>Actually Im really interested in knowing the stats - last year they only straight up rejected 49 and I wonder if it’s similar this year</p>
<p>Does anyone actually know the chances of deferred students getting in?</p>
<p>If anyone is interested, daily princetonian published an article with stats on this years early admission.</p>
<p>Acceptance: 19.9%
Deferral: 75.8%
165 students were rejected, which is more than three times the number last year.</p>
<p>RD admit rate is around ~5%, and I’ve read elsewhere that deferred applicants typically have a slightly higher chance. </p>
<p>What do deferred students usually write in the follow up letters, other than restating interest in the school and mentioning new accomplishments? I feel obliged to send one maybe in January, but I have no idea what I’m gonna talk about lol.</p>
<p>I don’t know how I’m going to cope with another 4 months of uncertainty :(( </p>
<p>When I found out I got deferred, I started crying… but then I listened to some of Beyoncé’s songs and I’m like “ALL THE DEFERRED STUDENTS, ALL THE DEFERRED STUDENTS, NOW PUT YO HANDS UP.”</p>
<p>I surprisingly didn’t even cry when I got my decision, but what bums me out a bit is the fact that 9 people from a school in my area got into Princeton. Not like the expected 1 or 2 that are usually accepted to Princeton from that school, but 9. Their graduating class is like 60-70 people and like 15% of their class got into Princeton. And we live in New Jersey so it’s supposed to be harder to get in from here, so I am just super shocked.</p>
<p>I am absolutely cracking up at every.single.post </p>
<p>Honestly, I’m so happy that this group is so supportive of each other, and this thread makes my deferral a little better.</p>
<p>I’m actually a bit shocked I didn’t get straight up rejected because of my scores. So I’m in a good mood~
WE STILL HAVE HOPE EVERYONE </p>
<p>To do list:</p>
<p>1)Finish my book (actually possible)
2)Drop mixtape, not just being a producer
3)Make 1 million dollars and subtly donate it my name to Princeton</p>
<p>But you all are awesome and I hope we rock it during RD!</p>
