<p>3 p.m. ET right? Does anyone know if we can check decisions on our phones?</p>
<p>Does anyone know when the actual letters will be posted/arrive?</p>
<p>I am sure we can check our decisions on any device with internet access. A phone should be fine. I think that the mail out decisions the same day they put them online. I think most people will get their decisions in the mail within the week.</p>
<p>Good to know you all have found out the exact decision time. Yale has changed it to Dec 16th at 5pm, so we’re all anxiously awaiting December 16th. Good luck :)</p>
<p>I would feel uncomfortable checking my decision at school with all my friends around. Luckily I live on the East Coast and I’ll be back home by then. I’m planning on checking my decision by myself in my room.</p>
<p>I’m going to be around people at 3 and I really don’t want people around. I probably won’t be able to check in my room until around 4. Gosh, everyone is convinced I am getting in. I try to explain to them how fierce the competition is, but they do not get it. Anyway…I’m dreading telling everyonr if I am rejected or deferred…</p>
<p>@KeDIX1414 I totally understand. Most people don’t realize what it takes to get into an ivy league. They all assume just because someone has a good ACT, GPA and a couple clubs, he/she will definitely get into an ivy league. My friends are all convinced that I am definitely getting in, but the competition is so fierce that I’m likely going to have to tell them otherwise 
The pressure’s pretty bad, and I hope you are all handling it well</p>
<p>I told people that Princeton has about a 7% acceptance rate, and they are all still convinced that I am most definitely one of the 7%… Anyway, all of us Princeton/Yale people will know in ten days. It will be nice to have closure…unless we’re deferred.</p>
<p>Yeah. That’s one of the reasons why I was wary of applying SCEA. There is not much of an advantage and the deferment percentage is so high that some people view SCEA as kind of a waste. I kind of wish my top choice school was ED so I would at least have a higher chance of getting in.</p>
<p>KeDIX & Spool, I totally know what you mean. At 3pm I’ll still be in school, and all my friends will be expecting to to tell them I got in. Except that I have less than a 10% chance. This doesn’t seem to bother them, they’re convinced that I’m basically already accepted. I plan to exert my self-control and not check until I get home, even though that’ll be hours later.</p>
<p>We should all show everyone the decision thread for ivy leagues on college confidential hahaha. Even the seemingly perfect candidate is rejected.</p>
<p>This is so much pressure. I feel like I will be disappointing people since they have such high expectations of me. I know I shouldn’t feel that way, but it is difficult when people are talking to me as if I’ve already been accepted. I know I am being illogical, but I can’t wait for December 16th to pass.</p>
<p>Same. I almost wish I didn’t tell people where I’m applying. My friends think they’re being supportive by announcing to others that I’ve already been accepted to an ivy league college. For the RD round, I’m definitely not telling anyone where I’m applying. It’s just annoying.</p>
<p>Only my three closest friends know where I am applying RD, and I am going to keep it that way. Most people weren’t supposed to know about Princeton, but somebody saw me working on my Princeton supplement and announced it to people. Lovely. I love your idea about showing people the results threads. They would be shocked!</p>
<p>Is everyone finished their RD applications or still working on them till the deadline like I am?</p>
<p>I totally understand. I’m going to be in class at 3pm, but I honestly don’t think I could wait, knowing the end-all-be-all answer is available. So I’ll probably end up leaving class and doing it. Or just right after class. But if I’m rejected, I have no idea what I’m going to say to people, because a) everyone wants me to go there, and b) my best friend applied there too, and has better odds of getting in. Argh!</p>
<p>@Spool and KeDIX</p>
<p>I get the sense that people exaggerate their stats on the results threads, so I do not think getting in is as difficult as the results threads would indicate. That being said, only 16% of applicants with 2300+ are accepted…
Is anyone going to film himself/herself opening the decision?</p>
<p>Honestly, I can’t get myself to work on other apps until I get my princeton decision, whatever it may be. I have so much riding on princeton (probably similarly to most of you) that if I get in, the list of schools I have to apply to shrinks from 11 to 2 more. /: I know its terrible that I’m wasting all this time but I’m just so anxious to know</p>
<p>I think my might turn on my web cam for the results. However, I’m gonna delete it immediately if I don’t hear good news.</p>
