<p>Best of luck, everyone...nearly there now. It's been nice knowing you as applicants, and I hope I know you next week as acceptees (fellow acceptees, of course ;)). And since Princeton's increasing class size (<a href="http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S11/10/04C71/index.xml?section=topstories%5B/url%5D">http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S11/10/04C71/index.xml?section=topstories</a>), we stand an increased chance.</p>

<p>Does it really matter, esp when</p>
<p>

The University has received 16,453 applications for admission to the class of 2009, a 20 percent increase from the previous year

<p>Not much, but every bit helps. I'm not complaining...it was a surprise that they increased at all.</p>
<p>2,700 more applications for 28 extra spots. That's about 10%...right on track. haha</p>
<p>that's around 1.2% not 10%</p>
<p>in order for this to be equal, they'd have to inc their class size by 20% too.. and i don't think they wil ever do that. :(</p>
<p>but since they don't have 100% yeild during Rd. I think they'll accept around 55 more for the 28 spots... :) which is not bad.</p>
<p>Ahh..I can't divide...No Princeton for me...I withdrawing my app in shame.</p>
<p>Ya, I'm applying for class of '10 (that looks awkward doesn't it, '10?) and theyre expanding even more, supposedly. I'm sure not by much but... still... exciting!</p>
<p>lol, i have to admit i was more depressed by the 20% increase. should have applied ed but i was too scared of binding <em>hangs head in shame</em></p>
<p>cannot understand the math involved here but i realize the probabilities are slim. jeje</p>
