Package Tracking

<p>That's only for internationals, right?</p>

<p>awww, hugs for you, spacepirate! you've been so supportive of all of us that you so deserve to get in. and if not, there will surely be many, many wonderful schools that will be banging down your doors with acceptance letters!</p>

<p>and davidalex, not all problems in life can be solved with beer :p</p>

<p>im sorry for you david.. </p>

<p>thanks for your words of wisdom, but nothing will console me now. i guess it'll get a few days to erase from my mind the dream that i've nurtured for so long.</p>

<p>we germans love beer, no matter if we have problems or not. it is a basic alimentary element ^^</p>

<p>btlesgirl!! <em>hugs and sobs</em></p>

<p>hey how did you guys get the reference number? i'd like one for uchicago. :)</p>

<p>aye btles... I hope for you that I get into Pton so I can show you the deep philosophy in it :P </p>

<p>No reason to feel sorry for me space... I had my imploding dream 45 days ago when I encountered that my SAT R turned out to be so low that I didn't have to worry about ED admission any longer... </p>

<p>I can imagine what it feels like but I don't share it atm bcause I'm over it and a deferral instead of a rejection would be pretty cool (esp. if I see how many penns got rejected). No hard feelings for me...</p>

<p>Probably the worst for you ist that there is nothing official which denies you. You feel that you are def but you don't have it on paper. I had a similar situation when a girl I had chased for 2 years (!) first asked me to tell her (whom I was in love with - not that she didn't know) and then when I just wanted to begin cried not to do... </p>

<p>I did not have an answer - neither positive nor negative - but the unoutspoken, the knowledge that I didn't have a chance was inevitable. It became the worst week in my life until I finally told her and she finally decided not to go out with me... </p>

<p>That's 3 years ago and I still know it as if it happened yesterday. </p>

<p>It won't help, but it makes you so much stronger. I've got my armour back on. Now you should do the same and begin fighting for your dream - It is "Pton deserves you" NOT "you deserve Princeton".</p>

<p>The same thing happened with MIT packages last to last year.
That time the consensus on CC was that it's high unethical to track packages of other applicants.</p>

<p>thanks david.. that did cheer me up.</p>

<p>If Petter's theory of package tracking is right, then 6 out of 100 ED applicants from the UK got in...</p>

<p>6% acceptance rate!? why so low? Last year, it was around 15 out of 61 !!</p>

<p>where did YOU get the UK number of applicants?</p>

<p>BBC News - an article in Nov 2006</p>

<p>wow, they really do report stuff like that? impressive...</p>
