<p>I woke up from a super realistic dream of having been accepted to Princeton…to my glorious alarm, another week of waiting, and another day full of tests. :P</p>
<p>@lb43823 idk seems kinda risky, also depends which Ivies. I think Cornell/Dartmouth/Duke are much more attainable than HYPSM, Columbia/UPenn/Brown somewhat more attainable. My former AP Lang teacher and unofficial college counselor (she’s been helping kids for 16 years now) said that Cornell was more a match/high match for me than a super reach for everyone like HYPSM.</p>
<p>Note: My very subjective ease-of-admission rankings are based on my school’s trends over the last ~10 years or so. We have sent 0 people to Brown (yes. zero. and quite a few have applied) and multiple people to each of HYPSM, Columbia, UPenn, (probably Cornell/Dartmouth), Duke in that order.</p>
<p>I don’t know if you guys know this but I’m pretty sure that decisions have not been finalized yet! My counselor received an email from the Admission Senior Assistant today notifying that she hasn’t sent my 9th grade transcript, because high school in my country starts at 10th. </p>
<p>@ronkrushie Oh dear… That means I’m in deep s**t, cause high school is three years in my country too, yet my counsellor has not told me about any mail… But it was specified in my transcript that high school is only three years, and my results from our national basic school-leaving exam was included on the transcript, with the certificate… If they still need the ninth grade scores, I’m doomed! Less than one week, and my grade school doesn’t even know I’m applying, let alone prepare a transcript in time for consideration. Time will tell! #fingerscrossed </p>
<p>Totally off topic, but I’ve had multiple dreams recently in which I get back a college decision but it’s not decisive, so I just wake up confused. Anyway, I get to school today, and my friend says, “I had a dream about you and Princeton.” (my friends are really invested in me shutting up about this school) and in the dream the decision was just an email saying “we need some more time. We’ll let you know soon.” </p>
<p>I just… Even my friend’s subconscious won’t tell me anything. </p>
<p>@Frozengogurt I’m also getting too attached to Princeton… I know I have to write my other essays, and the ideas ARE floating in my head, but to put pen on paper, (or finger on keyboard) is a problem for me. Sometimes I wish the results will be ready far earlier (Harvard, Brown and Duke are getting theirs in Thursday), or at least, they notify you in advance if you’ve been eliminated. The suspense is killing me right now. I would be totally crushed if I’m not accepted; even if it’s a deferral.</p>
<p>@oneappatatime, lol, the other night I dreamt that when I logged in to view the decisions, I couldn’t find the part of the webpage that showed my decision! The most unrealistic part was that I was like “oh, whatever - I’ll try to figure this out later,” and then just ditched it. :-)</p>
<p>ughhhh im so nervous!!! I don’t want to be overconfident (people from my region have been getting in SCEA at a 75-100% rate for the last couple of yrs) and sometimes I feel completely hopeless </p>
<p>Wow… that’s so many! The last person from my school to get in was the daughter of a millionaire 4 years ago… Ever since everyone (even early applicants and legacies) has been rejected.</p>
<p>@ladieth What region are you from? And how do you know that statistic? Fingers crossed that I am in the same region as you!! Are there any other regions with such high SCEA acceptance rates?</p>
