Got the email. Can’t believe that there will be four more days until decisions!
I think the server will be down at 2 so that Princeton can input all of our decisions before releasing them. I’m so scared right now; just receiving the decision date email is making me super nervous.
Also, I still have received no confirmation for my tax forms. I really hope that it isn’t a bad thing… 
Who else received tax form and W-2 confirmation emails today? I haven’t and I’m starting to worry about the status of my application… :-S
@azwu331 Neither have I, but I don’t think it’s something to fret about. Remember, the financial aid office is separate from the admissions office so I think you’re reading too much into it 
Ooh boy, here we go. Ugh now I just really hope I get confirmation on W2s, since more and more people are starting to report those…
@azwu331 I received confirmation today but only because I emailed them first asking about it… I was worried that maybe they never got my forms after seeing that some others received confirmations so I just sent them a quick email asking about it :—))) ~:>
So I talked to my GC today and she told me that Princeton called asking for first quarter grades 3 days ago. Anyone have any idea what this may mean? I know some people suspected that, at this point, they’ve likely made decisions and are now putting together financial aid packages, but apparently they were still making final decisions the beginning of this week. My GC thinks that it’s a “good sign,” but I’m not so sure. I think maybe they needed to cut a couple more kids, and decided to look at first quarter grade performance to aid in making the last few cuts before admission decisions are finalized? At least my quarter grades were all solid though.
ngl i almost prefer not knowing decision day. almost…
@ALibertarian I’d assume it’s a good thing, since it means you’re still in the race and on the bubble. But which side of the bubble is anyone’s guess.
Does anyone know whether the decision will pop up automatically when we log in or whether we have to click something after we log in?
On a completely different note, I heard that Penn ED was particularly competitive this year.
@ALibertarian and you were the one missing forms who didn’t get the W2 email, right? If so I think that puts to rest the idea that it has any implication for admission once and for all
@Waiting2exhale only registration will be down. You can log in (unless they crash) but you won’t be able to create a new account.
@czarpeter if I remember correctly from last year, once you log in it pops up. However, it took me a good 30min of waiting for it to load last year for both early and regular decisions (I got deferred early)
Dear Student,

Thank you for applying to Princeton.

I have to go out at 3:30 on the 16th- do you think decisions will be up by then!!??
@ughcollege1432 judging by last year’s thread, the first person to post their results posted at 2:03 central, so 3:03 EST. it’s very possible you’ll be able to access your decision by 3:30!
also, i feel your username on a spiritual level.
@CautiousOptimist: Thanks for the clarification. Will let my Girlie know.
@eyesight2020 awesome, thank you!!
yup, I thought the username basically summed up this whole experience.
@ALibertarian -would you be willing to share a little about your stats? Did your recent grades go up or down or hold the same course? Understandable if you dont want to answer but as we try to second guess what they are doing, the fact that they called about your grades is something to analyze to death!
Hey all, if you wanted to know from someone who got accepted Princeton early last year, the website crashes when you try to open it, so have your log-in credentials already input before 12:00 PM, and hit that button when it hits 12. If you see an orange tiger, you’re in!
@alfawarlord so we could be able to know if we get in or not before they release the actual decisions?
