But in the end, all speculation draws to naught, as these admissions always have a way to surprise people 
:))
But it’s always funny to see people put forward crazy theories :))
And I hope @lalalalaa , you were just being sarcastic with the email having a period right? Because that would be pushing it if you were serious! 
And @mprut0987 thanks! I just realised the HP reference once when I posted on here about the apps being “pieces of my soul”, which immediately reminded me of Horcruxes 
(And unfortunately, two Horcruxes have already been destroyed, and the third one is in limbo. I hope the Princetonian Horcrux survives the ordeal )
@blazedragon Hahaha ofc! That theory is even more ridiculous than the Vanderbilt/ digits at the end of the link thing from a few days ago!
@lalalalaa
It had a period. Just a copy paste thing however, the text in the first paragraph were all in color blue (LoL. JUST KIDDING!!!).
@vossari Relax (both ways ! And .) :bz
@vossari thank you for that
When you realize you’re literally going to be out of town with no internet access on Ivy day 
@ronniecat when you realize you live in Europe and you’ll be sleeping (if you manage to fall asleep) on Ivy day
So I received two identical emails on March 7 and March 18, both asking for my parents’ tax returns and W-2s. Is there a correlation here to admissions or is it just a general thing that they do?
Did anyone get these emails?
@orionsagittarius back in february 19, I received an email saying that I was missing my pfaa application, and I later submitted the forms and I haven’t gotten any emails since. I heard it has some correlation with acceptance.
@Californian10 : same thing happened to me (PFAA request) and my parents submitted the PFAA but no tax docs. At this point, I’m not sure if there’s a correlation or not. I guess we’ll find out next week!
Judging from the threads of years past, there appears to be a reasonable correlation.
@foodlover001 let’s hope for the best!
I’m not trying to be a downer, but I got the email in February, on the 19th about missing financial aid docs and I am 99.9999% sure I’m not getting in. I don’t think the emails mean anything really. If they did that would be great, but I don’t think it’s for sure. Good luck!!
In the last couple of years there has seemed to be a strong correlation between getting a request close to the deadline i.e. mid-late March and being either accepted or waitlisted
I agree that if you got the email in March, especially Mid to late March then there’s definitely a correlation bc I doubt they would waste time with that stuff if you were going to be rejected anyway. I’m gonna use this opportunity to criticize the U.S. a bit (groundbreaking, I know). I don’t see how a uni can call itself ‘need-blind’ and ask for financial aid info when you apply. If it were truly need-blind, they would accept students and then ask if they need financial aid later, and make the appropriate offers. Possibly some drawbacks with this, and I believe Princeton can be quite generous with FA, but just offering an opinion here.
Yeah I just find it difficult to believe that they’d ask for aid documents at this stage if they didn’t actually need it to calculate aid for admitted/waitlisted (WL to a lesser extent) students. Why bother everyone involved if it doesn’t matter?
I’m just holding out a ton of hope.
wait so if were not asked the FA stuff (I’m international) then that means its a rejection? D: D: but I sent in all the FA stuff they required! why would they ask me for more cries
I wasn’t even asked to do whatever the PFAA thing was! :’( :’(
@Marcelleparcelle If you did all that was required then you wouldn’t have received an email.
On your PFAA, does it say that you are enrolled for the 2016-2017 school year? It has mine check marked.
@Californian10 : I don’t remember what mind said but I think what they mean is that the PFAA is for the 2016-2017 academic year if you’re accepted. The info you put it in will apply to next year if you get in and receive aid.
