<p>I know I just want to find out tomorrow…</p>
<p>notify.princeton.edu says “Applicants will be able to view their decisions beginning at 4 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 15.”. This is pretty clear language. Previously, the only indication of decisions release said “by December 15 at 5 est”. Now that they have updated the word “by” to “beginning”, I would not be hopeful of an early release. I suppose they updated the language due to anxious e-mailers that heard about early Stanford released decisions.</p>
<p>I think we should all boycott the online tracker and wait for mailed decisions to come. It seems so much more suspenseful, opening the letter and all.</p>
<p>I’m so terrified of logging in… I just want to see a bright orange tiger at the top of the screen…</p>
<p>thanks for the update…i of course went on the application tracker again, just in case…
why do you think Stanford went early? my friend, who was rejected, said there was no notification or update about the date change…she expected a decision on Thursday, but got the unexpected (and sad) email Friday…</p>
<p>@jonjonjonjon… I’m being idealistic I guess. You’re right. Application tracker is fun.</p>
<p>@decillion… in past years, is that what the application tracker has looked like for accepted applicants?</p>
<p>Yeah, I don’t remember it exactly but it’s like Dear _______,
Congratulations! etc etc etc.</p>
<p>Orange tiger at the top of the screen, horizontal, filled in like silhouette looking thing.</p>
<p>I swear, if the message is like “The Admissions Committee has decided to defer its decision on your enrollment to Princeton University…” I will go hide in the corner of my room with a tub of ice cream and sob.</p>
<p>@AmayaB… I had 4 friends rejected from Stanford this year too. In fact, no one from my school has been accepted anywhere early yet. Anyways, I don’t know why Stanford did that. I wish Princeton would. It would be unexpected and exciting.</p>
<p>@ decillion:</p>
<p>where did you get the information that Princeton committee started Dec. 5? I’m just very curious. Harvard people have gotten similar information about their commitee adjourning on Dec. 7. I just want to know is there a website we can go to for this kind of stuff? :)</p>
<p>For anyone who is interested in having like a live instant messenger like chat (that’s completely anonymous, no registration required), PM me and I’ll give you the link.</p>
<p>I’m passing the time by studying for all of my midterms. Sigh. </p>
<p>My AP US history exam is going to kick my butt. It’s on Friday so I’m studying now (in case I get denied and am crying all night :(. )</p>
<p>I just want the decisions to come out so I can find out I got rejected and move on…</p>

<p>lets see how am i passing the time?
sitting in my room, curled in a ball, unable to do anything, save the occasional motivation to do schoolwork. got an upset stomach, bad headache, and extreme nerves rendering me insane…
anybody have any advice to help me (and anyone else) calm down and forget about this?</p>
<p>Do we get the decision immediately when we log into our application tracker? Or is there then a link we have to click?</p>
<p>@mathmuser when you say “26% accepted with 2300+” do you mean that, of accepted applicants, 26% had a 2300+? Or that, of applicants with a 2300+, 26% were accepted?
Also I have a 35 composite ACT (didn’t submit an SAT), so would you parallel that with a 2300+ SAT?</p>
<p>I’m waiting by obsessively checking the website over and over and over, doing calc homework, writing other college essays since I’m trying to not get my hopes up for acceptance haha, and spontaneously bursting into tears. 
And my intended major is biology with a concentration in neuroscience 
Good luck, everyone.</p>
<p>What are the Deffered v. Rejected numbers like? Do many people get deferred?</p>
<p>@xeno
Yeah sorry that was ambiguous. I mean that of all the people who applied with a 2300+, 26% got in last year. A 35 is like a 2330 ish in my opinion.</p>

<p>Princeton has not done SCEA in the past so no one can say. The best school to compare to, however, is Yale, due to the similar class size and application pool. Last year they accepted below 20, deferred around half, and rejected a little more than 30. Check out this link, there is some

<p>Darn-- I would hate being deferred. I’d almost rather be rejected than deferred. I don’t know if I could take another 2 months of suspense. But do the deferred applicants have a good shot at getting in the regular pool?</p>
