Princeton ED Lounge

<p>Yea I'm applying to Georgetown too and I'm waiting. My counselor said that they're just trying to scare you. Don't waste your money.</p>

<p>By the way guys, I've been reading the old CC posts from early decision time last year and they really scare me...I'm depressed for other people that got deferred so I really wonder what'll happen to me if I don't get in.</p>

<p>Yeah, deferral seems too much like purgatory for me...well, for about three-and-a-half months, anyways. However, if it means I'll eventually get in, I'll take it. Acceptance would be ideal, though. ;)</p>

<p>I was looking at those posts too (the "post here when you get the letter" thread, Dec 2003)....that'll be us in 3 months and I can't stand to think about it...there is no way I'm concentrating on finals! I can't study for tests now as it is...</p>

<p>Man, if I got (gulp,..) deferred...or if any of us did, really--(it would take some of the joy out of an acceptance if there couldn't be a CC reunion)--I dunno what I'd do. I don't think I'd cry...I'd just sit in my room and stare at the floor for hours, maybe. Then start my Yale application.</p>

<p>Don't want to think about it. The 'd' word is off limits for me.</p>

<p>Actually Kebree, that's us in two months...less than two months. Oh man, so soon!</p>

<p>you're right...either I can't add, was too lazy to add, or I was just wishing it was mid sept...
probably choice b.</p>

<p>It actually seems like a long time to wait...I want to just get it over with! December, where are you?</p>

<p>I want to hit a pause button before nov 1st, though...my app is not NEAR done...</p>

<p>Is everyone really confident about his/her essays? I can't get mine to come out right...I tried reading a lot of E.B. White before writing, but the your-life-in-500-words-type topics are difficult to tackle (to put it lightly). I can write on anything else, but this stuff is killing me....and it has to be perfect if I want to get in...</p>

<p>Also: for my activities essay--do you think I could just use my artist's statement (with some changes)? I know the art resume goes to the art dept. for review, but I don't know if it gets returned to the adcom...I certainly don't want to have two slightly different versions of the same thing sitting in front of them. The statement would be perfect for my activities essay, but like I said, it wouldn't be good to use it for both unless the art resume stayed with the art dept.</p>

<p>hate to do this, but 'bump'....</p>

<p>i dont believe the ad com reads anything in the supplement so you could use ur art statement if you would like, maybe lol</p>

<p>Hey I'm new to this! How do you access the old CC threads? Is there a link? I wanted to read about who got accepted last year ED!</p>

<p>yea go to <a href="http://www.collegeconfidential.com/discus%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.collegeconfidential.com/discus&lt;/a>
that's where the old board is. you can do a search for pton early notification letters or something.</p>

<p>you may not want to...i was reading it last night and couldn't sleep for a while after that...it's sort of disturbing, knowing what's coming to us....esp. during finals</p>

<p>(disturbing b/c there were a lot more posting who were deferred)</p>

<p>why do u people say 'bump' when no one is responding to their posts, i mean like how does it help bring responses?</p>

<p>oh Kebree I know! That thing really depressed me. Especially now that I'm so attached to you guys, it's going to be hard =/</p>

<p>bumping is just to fill up the blank spot. if no one is responding then the thread goes down far because the threads are in order of the most recent response. so you bump it up to the top. you bump other threads outta their spots basically</p>

<p>tobsta: it brings the thread back to the top of the list</p>

<p>whoa~ we have more than 600 posts, more than any other Ivy. Go Princeton =)</p>

<p>its cuz we love ourselves so very much. i am on this site way too much i should probably get my regular decision teacher apps ready. where are yall applying reg if <strong>shudders</strong> god forbid we dont get in ED?</p>
