<p>lol, i figured the pool would just get bigger and bigger. i just hope they don’t delay the decision date due to late application arrivals. that would absolutely suck.</p>
<p>a friend of mine emailed the admissions office. they are currently planning on releasing decisions around the 17th.</p>
<p>Yay got my interview email! I’m looking forward to it.</p>
<p>I am a day late, but I would just like to say: I am greatful that in just over three weeks we will know our fates</p>
<p>Has anyone heard of any change for the decisios date?</p>
<p>morethanluck-- unfortunately, princeton deferred a large number of students last year, so many of us will likely be stuck waiting much longer!</p>
<p>just did my interview! it was at starbucks and very conversation-oriented. my only regret is that I should have been drinking decaf!</p>
<p>GetExcited - On their website it still says they will be available by Dec. 15th.</p>
<p>[Princeton</a> University | Application Dates & Deadlines](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/deadlines/]Princeton”>http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/deadlines/)
On there it says “mid-december” If only what was there exact date for mid-december.</p>
<p>Not to hop on board late, but I applied SCEA! Can’t wait to hear. I adored it when I visited last fall.</p>
<p>How much of this SCEA class do you think is going to be athletes?</p>
<p>Gah this waiting is torturous. Does anyone know if they are releasing decisions BY the 15th (in reference to what is stated on the website) /17th (in reference to what Desafinado said) or ON that date?</p>
<p>Also, is the decision emailed or mailed first (if I opted for the email along with the letter)? I would think emailing is much quicker, but just to be sure.</p>
<p>baddriver - that stinks. But I guess I would rather be deferred than rejected. </p>
<p>guresu - I believe they email the decision on the day of release and mail them out on that day, too. So you would get the online decision first</p>
<p>btw, here’s the numbers on the scea pool last year:</p>
<p>3443 applied
726 admitted (21%)
1921 deferred (56%)
796 rejected (23%)

<p>hopefully this was just a large deferral group because princeton was still figuring out the scea system! it looks like an awful lot of kids stuck in limbo to me.</p>
<p>^ I have almost the same chance to be accepted or rejected. :)</p>
<p>Well last year had a much smaller applicant pool…
and princeton can’t select as many people as last year because of this year’s overhousing.
:(</p>
<p>Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving 
Let’s just forget about the crazy decision that’s coming up soon.</p>
<p>kim7564: There’s an overhousing issue? Well, shoot. Okay, let’s get lost in a turkey coma.</p>
<p>^ Agreed. All I want for Christmas is a Princeton acceptance.</p>
<p>I also wouldn’t mind a pony. But that’s just me.</p>
<p>I wish we could all get in. Coming from a developing country in Central America, receiving a letter of acceptance from this university would be a blessing for my family. Even though we might not get the decisions that we all want, I am glad that I applied SCEA to Princeton - the school that I love the most. All in all, I am happy that I gave it a shot! Good luck to everyone else out there and happy holidays from Nicaragua! </p>
<p>P.S. I hope decisions are released earlier than the 17th!</p>
<p>thanks, kim7564. didn’t realize it but yeah there’s 50-65 extra students in class of '16.
i guess more scea apps this year will make rejection #s go up, but others stay the same.
3791 applied 726 admitted 19% 1921 deferred 51% 1144 rejected 30%
or something like that? for some reason I still find these numbers comforting. something about most likely NOT being rejected (in december at least) yayyy!</p>
<p>I’d rather be rejected than deferred in December, honestly. I think that if I get rejected, I’ll cry and be sad for a little bit but I’ll move on. Waiting another 4 months sounds like torture.</p>
