<p>^ur getting in just for that
Asian Male NJ Science Prospective Major ■■■</p>
<p>Woot Woot. Maryland over heeuuuhh. I fall more in love with Princeton everyday. Which will make it suck even more if I get rejected/deferred</p>
<p>Anyywhooo, the scenarios:</p>
<p>Accepted: Run up and down the house. Call every relative imaginable. Tell my mom who will then call every relative imaginable. Drive to UMD and tell my brother I got in. Force him to do a dance with me. Immediately order a Princeton hoodie. lol</p>
<p>Deferred: Kanye shrug and act like it doesn’t really matter. I mean what else was I expecting. Will then proceed to shed a couple (a lot) of tears and pretend i don’t care. </p>
<p>Rejected: Immediately go to the nearest grocery store and buy the largest tub of ice cream. Hide out in my closet for months. Wait for college application season to be over. Then come out of hibernation and retreat again and cry my eyes out. Then go back to school and pretend that I didn’t just have my heart ripped out of my chest and stomped on =] If people ask me at school, i will frostily inform them I never applied. lol</p>
<p>From Ohio - represent the Midwest!</p>
<p>Accepted: Run around my house, call all of my friends/family, run around for another hour, freak out, and cry because I’m so happy.</p>
<p>Deferred: Be upset, but will continue to work on/finish all of the other college applications I have been putting off. I’ll probably worry about my grades (more than usual) until I hear back.</p>
<p>Rejected: Stay off of Facebook for the next week (so I won’t have to hear about other people’s acceptances). Be depressed for a really long time until I hear back from other schools. Make my mom get rid of all of her Princeton stuff.</p>
<p>Less than eight days everyone!!!</p>
<p>I saw this video about a year ago but had to dig it up. Sorry if it was already posted recently…</p>

<p>^ Haha that’s awesome!</p>
<p>AH! Am I the only one who is finding it impossible to get any work done whatsoever?!</p>
<p>Sup guys, white male SCEA’er for engineering from Cincinnati, OH. I know it’s irrational, but this is really starting to consume my life… it’s just there’s this contrast between what I KNOW, that there’s a very high likelihood I won’t get in, and the fact that I still don’t think I can bring myself to BELIEVE it.</p>
<p>Also, it would be very nice for this semester’s grades to not matter so much. College stress has not been kind to my GPA…</p>
<p>Accepted: Stare in disbelief, then start cackling manically. This is the first step to de-stressing.</p>
<p>Deferred: Know that they think I’m still a good candidate for these schools, probably focus on Yale app.</p>
<p>Rejected: Honestly, I don’t want to think about it. Too depressing.</p>
<p>HSP, our of pure curiosity, do you go to Walnut?</p>
<p>Nope, Cincinnati Country Day. I think my mom went to Walnut though.</p>
<p>As a side note, my school (pretty small) sends a few kids each year to HY, yet the last person to get into Princeton was a legacy 5 years back. This worries me.</p>
<p>Ahh, I see. I go to Ross, not entirely sure if you’ve heard of it… It’s in a suburb of Hamilton.</p>
<p>Heard of it, but I can’t say I know anyone there. Do you know anyone else in the Cincinnati area who’s applying? It’s just me from CCD</p>
<p>Nobody else from my high school is applying, so that’s as much as I know. Then again, nobody from my school has attended an Ivy in the past… Well, it was before I was born.</p>
<p>I find it terrible that so many people here will obnoxiously tell their friends about a Princeton acceptance letter when they also say they’d try to avoid people/FaceBook/straight up deny admitting that they applied if they got rejected. </p>
<p>Have so sympathy and grace - it’ll come out over the course of the year, no point rushing about and telling everybody but your closest friend or two (even then, tread lightly before telling) plus family. </p>
<p>Just my advice having been at a boarding school and seeing best friends turn on each other over this stuff. </p>
<p>Also Princeton truly isn’t the end of the world, in my opinion. I absolutely would love to go, but I think I’ve seen better days in my life and I hope you all have too, because we’ll all end up at a great school if not Princeton or another Ivy. </p>
<p>Sorry for the sanctimonious rant, I really couldn’t tell people this in person but its important for us (myself included) to remember.</p>
<p>EDIT: I still love you all - CC has been a great source of knowledge for me as neither of my parents know anything about higher education having been a high school graduate and an Indian equivalent of state school graduate respectively and I live in obscure Papua new guinea where no one applies to US schools…</p>
<p>
I don’t know where you get the idea that we will. I never made such a statement and don’t really see anyone else seeing that either.</p>
<p>I don’t really see myself telling anyone except my family at first. I go to a private school in wisconsin, and a lot of people end up going to state schools. Gradually my school is becoming more well-known, and we are getting a few Ivy League acceptances each year. Because of this, I bet some people would take it the wrong way if I told them, and they would think I was bragging and acting superior to them.
that’s my situation. I don’t know about anyone else’s… </p>
<p>anyways… ONE WEEK ONE WEEK ONE WEEK ONE WEEK. </p>
<p>I could not sleep last night because of school stress and stress over Princeton! I wonder if that means that I won’t be sleeping for the next week haha.</p>
<p>@carbon by “here” do you mean your boarding school? Or do you mean here on CC? If it’s the latter then I agree with kameronsmith, no one here has intimated that they will do those things.</p>
<p>Even still carbon, is it so wrong to share news of that magnitude with your friends? Especially if they’re not even going to apply? Regardless, nobody indicated that they would even do that. But hey. To each his own</p>
<p>Just joined this thread. I look forward to next week. Good luck to all!</p>
<p>^ Me Too. I can’t wait for the day to come but I don’t want to rush it and it ends up being something I don’t wanna hear.</p>
