Funny to see this line in that story about the Class of 2020:
“Students receiving offers of admission to the Class of 2020 come from 49 states.”
Last year the Class of 2019 story was posted at about this time and had a line that said something like, “Students were accepted from every state except North Dakota,” and there was a North Dakota kid on here who said something like, “Guess I didn’t get in.” So Princeton didn’t say what state was left out this year in their announcement story.
What is the state that got no admissions?
Hawaii or Alaska probably
@baltimoreguy Oh my gosh, I noticed that too! Now I’m even more tense though because I come from a rather uncommon state when it comes to Ivy League admissions…
I guess everyone had the same Q
@DaPueo Either one of those or perhaps one of the more underrepresented states of the Midwest/West…
The lowest acceptance rate again! Rejections are coming :((
Well, I don’t know if I should be so hopeful, but they have mentioned that they have accepted students from my country, that is, India. I really, REALLY wish one of those lucky Indians is me. :(( :((
@baltimoreguy That’s so brutal… Poor kid.
Unbelievable…I’m convinced that within the next few decades (or perhaps less), we’ll be looking at schools accepting 1% or less of students. I can’t even imagine that; I’m stressed enough as it is with our odds!
At least I am not going to strike out today since I got into Tufts
@abyssofstress That’s a possibility. It all depends on how many more applicants apply within the next few years, but that won’t be our problem.
Also, YOUR USERNAME IS LITERALLY ME. ~X(
1 HOUR. 15 MINS. It’s getting real.
Does anyone know whether or not Princeton mails acceptance letters through UPS? Because if they do, then I got rejected. I made a UPS My Choice account and it tracks incoming deliveries to the selected address, but it looks like I have no deliveries coming in.
it’s a good day to be from NJ lol. regardless, i’m almost positive i will be rejected. it’s been a fun ride though!
1 HOUR. I DON’T THINK I’LL LAST.

That’s less than 1 in 25 guys…Don’t expect much. Seriously, low expectations are the only thing keeping me sane.
What are you all doing to pass the time?
@FiveFactorial Sitting. Waiting. Biting my nails. That’s about it.
