<p>Well, all of our decisions should by now be made (if Princeton somewhat closely follows Harvard's timetable)!!!</p>
<p>But to get to my question: Last Monday (the 19th) I had sent Princeton an email update about qualifying for Intel ISEF for a fourth time and instead of receiving a reply from the generic UA office email address I received one from Ashley McLeod, one of their "admissions assistants." It had one line saying that the information would be added to my file.</p>
<p>I'm probably reading too far into this, but does such a reply indicate anything about my chances?</p>
<p>You’re reading too far into this. I received the same email after sending in an update about a month and a half ago, didn’t even think about it. Just a standard admissions reply.</p>
<p>It’s not that they don’t get to all updates, I think they just don’t have the time to reply to each one and confirm their receipt…</p>
<p>So relax, your update probably got to them, and I’m sure the admissions office is a little too caught up with ‘stuff’ right now to discriminate among people who send them emails :P</p>
