<p>Very interesting read, Kite. I’m sure any school people are applying to would be a good fit.
Here are my 3 songs, all Beatles!

Deferred: Don’t Let Me Down
Rejected: Yesterday</p>

<p>Accepted: Edge of Glory, Lady Gaga
Deferred: Don’t Stop Believing, Journey
Rejected: Here I Go Again, Whitesnake</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone. My DS was alone when he got his acceptance–he really didn’t think he’d get in. I knew it was good news when I heard him screaming and jumping up and down! :)</p>
<p>Yes, he did have the orange tiger at the top of the page.</p>
<p>I wish you all the best, and as I told my DS–you are all amazing and you will go to a fine school and Princeton would be lucky to have you!</p>
<p>Princeton updated their notify page to confirm that the results will be posted 4:00 PM EST on Tuesday the 18th!</p>
<p>At least it’s an hour earlier than we thought.</p>
<p>I can’t wait to get my admissions packet! I heard it was amazing (but maybe that’s because it’s an Ivy League acceptance)!
How many of you are planning to go visit in April?</p>
<p>Where do you see that it will be posted at 4 pm?</p>
<p>Go to notify.princeton.edu! Only one week left!</p>
<p>So does that mean we go to notify.princeton.edu to view our decision, not some other link they send via email?</p>
<p>Ahhh so nervous…good luck everyone!!!</p>
<p>Will we get emails to let us know about the decision time? Well, technically we have that already. I don’t know all this waiting makes me think and ask random and irrelevant things. One week away guys!</p>
<p>This waiting is making me so bipolar. I keep going through cycles of absolute despair because I think I’m going to be rejected, and then jittery excitement because I think by some miracle I’ll hear good news.</p>
<p>@geresu: likewise. Literally </p>
<p>I guess I’ll be hitting the gym hard these days, watching my favorite movies, and starting a new book 
I should probably have my family hide the Nutella too…</p>
<p>@guresu</p>
<p>ME TOO! I don’t want to do some psychoanalysis or anything, but I think human brains naturally like things to make sense and to eliminate uncertainty, so I have been going crazy trying to rationalize one outcome over the other, which is completely impossible. So basically I’ve just been going crazy.</p>
<p>I’m having the same bipolar problem!</p>
<p>And so many long runs. So much hot tea. So many failed attempts at distraction! I’m sure there will also be a serious lot of hot cocoa and chick flicks if the decision is less than great… :)</p>
<p>Also, in the meantime, I have to write my preliminary research paper for my thesis and give a 30 minute molecular biology bioethics presentation. Ahhhh. Fast forward please? I’m losing my edge…</p>
<p>letsgoflyakite-- That describes my ailment trying to get to sleep every night perfectly. I tell my brain to hush and just wait, but it refuses to cooperate.</p>
<p>Really? I am getting the bipolarity too. One minute I am thinking about how great it would be to get accepted and how wonderful my activities must look and how excellent my essays were. The next minute I feel like a moron who might as well have drawn a picture of my house with crayon and sent it instead of the app. </p>
<p>I am the kind of person who gets easily fixated on things… Thank goodness for extracurriculars, or else I would be totally lost right now. I wish everyone the best of luck, and I hope we will all have something to celebrate in a week from today! (or yesterday, I suppose, for you EST applicants)</p>
<p>Where I live (Seoul), 4:00 PM EST, Dec. 18th will be 6:00 AM, Dec. 19th…
I won’t be able to get a wink of sleep on the night of the 18th :(</p>
<p>BTW, how are you guys doing with the regular decision applications?
I have about 10 supplements to complete but I find it so hard to focus on them!
I know I should be working on my RD apps, in case I get rejected/deferred, but all I do these days is fret about the yet-to-be-released Princeton SCEA results and/or waste time surfing on the internet… So unproductive :(</p>
<p>I’m so glad I found this thread, it provides me with some much needed peace of mind :)</p>
<p>Alright, 150 hours to go!</p>
<p>To all prospective Class of 2016 members —</p>
<p>Best of luck this upcoming December 18th. Let me just say that I know exactly how you feel right now (I applied here SCEA last year), and that I was so stressed and overwhelmed at this point in the year. But as you go through these next few days, keep in mind…</p>

<li><p>Princeton is great. And I love it. But just because you don’t get in here does not mean you won’t love where you’ll eventually end up. BELIEVE ME. This is so true. I was skeptical in high school of the whole “You’ll wind up where you’re meant to be,” but after hearing stories from friends who have fallen in love with their lower choice schools this past semester… I’m sure the same will happen to you. So don’t lose hope; but don’t feel like all is lost if things don’t go in your favor.</p></li>
<li><p>Winter break is almost here. Second semester senior status is just around the corner…</p></li>
</ol>
<p>GOOD LUCK! Don’t stress. Smile! :)</p>
<p>Just wanted to throw in a few words of support as I’ve been in your shoes before.</p>
