<p>Well at least make these posts interesting. Here's an interesting post from the Parents Forum: </p>
<p>Jan. 3,1777- BATTLE OF PRINCETON- After the Christmas victory at Trenton George Washingtons little army gives the main British army the slip, wheels around behind them and surprise attacks another British contingent at Princeton New Jersey. Years before young student Alexander Hamilton had failed the entrance requirements to study at Princeton University and instead went to Kings College, later renamed Columbia. Now artillery major Hamilton had a pleasure rare among rejected college applicants- that of being allowed to fire a few cannon rounds into the colleges admissions building.</p>
<p>Yeah, Princeton's got some great history, mostly in the late 18th and going through the 19th century. Things kind of died down from the teens through the present, but who knows? Things could start picking up any day now...</p>
<p>We all missed it? lol
Hi gracilisae <em>waves</em>
I actually came back to CC to ask a question on the Yale board (traitorous?) so I dropped by for a visit to ol' pton. Is it sad that I like the times we've had on this board more than the school now? I'm back to obsessing about Yale, although that is bound to hurt later >.<</p>
<p>Congrats to Kebree for her 2,000
and Pton for 20,000
yay</p>
<p>zant, keb, grac: how can you guys still stand posting on this board? I'm just reading it tonight for the first time since two days after my deferral letter and am only reading some of you guys' threads. I love Princeton and all (it's still my top choice by leaps and bounds) but I don't see how you can still stand to read (let alone post) on this board anymore! In my mind, it's sort of taboo. I've been going to every other forum BUT this one. Maybe I am just weird or still in mourning or something...</p>
<p>ahh, gotcha. Now that the semantics are lined up, all is well. <em>waves</em> Hope everything's going well for you, cav. And while you may not hang around here, I hope to see you back again in April :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I saw your posts on other boards, cava. :)
I like posting on here because it's my CC "home," lol. I still feel like I'm "visiting" other boards despite my disappointingly small letter last fall. </p>
<p>Anyway...life goes on. I'm making sure that I don't go into the RD round still completely set on Princeton. I've been looking into a lot of Yale and Harvard's programs and especially UVa's, since that's where I think I'll end up.</p>
<p>I think there's a lot here at the pton board that always makes me nostalgic. Can't deny that we had some really good times. No regrets either, but I don't post here as much. I post more at Yale/Gtown just because of the dynamics of the boards, not necessarily because I'm as obsessed as I was with pton.</p>
<p>lol, I <em>used</em> to feel like I was a <em>part</em> of something when I posted on this board. You know, we were all in it together and yada yada yada. Now, I just feel like an outsider, and am a little more cynical about the whole process...</p>
