<p>Same here, kellabell. Why does it say EDT, though? Isn’t it currently EST?! And when it says registration will be unavailable, they mean ONLY registration, right? Because I sure as heck better be able to access my account!</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s definitely currently EST! A typo, I guess. And yeah they definitely mean only registration is unavailable haha, that would be awfully nasty of them to say that we can get our decisions at 4 but they’ll be unavailable until 4:30!</p>
<p>Haha, guess I was right. 
Just got the email.</p>
<p>Yea, it means EST and they’re referring exclusively to registration—they probably don’t want people trying to register bogging down the system while others rush to see their decision at 4pm.</p>
<p>You’re probably right, Kella.</p>
<p>Anyone have any advice on how to cope until decisions come out? I’m so nervous I’m having trouble focusing on my school work. :[</p>
<p>The email! Anybody else been careful about what you think or say so you don’t jinx yourself?</p>
<p>Fluxed I would say try meditation or just take a break for a while and do something you enjoy to get your mind off it, but I’m not exactly one to be giving advice right now!
And gotocolleges hahaha yes! This morning I made my friend knock on wood because she said “Don’t worry, you’ll get in.”</p>
<p>Earlier today I rushed to look over the printed out version of my application to make sure I applied SCEA. I just had a sudden hunch that I had selected RD accidentally. Talk about panic mode.</p>
<p>To cope, I’ve been reading a lot of articles online about perspective, about how although it’s a great school, one can still reach their common goals by different means.</p>
<p>Honestly, for the first time, I’m at peace with it all. This decision isn’t going to hurt my chances at my ultimate goal of well-being and happiness, so I will just let it be.</p>
<p>Ignore the ■■■■■ guys.</p>
<p>anyone just get the email (about checking notification)?</p>
<p>Now I’m starting to freak… whoa. it’s pretty close</p>
<p>Ah the email just made this whole thing seem more real!!</p>
<p>^Yes, I got that email. It was so generic, and it just made me slightly gloomy. I am thankful for these last days of innocence.</p>
<p>I obviously really want to get in, but more than that I just want to know Princeton’s decision. Is anyone else the same?
I felt pretty solid about my app, but recently I’ve been second guessing myself a ton. I am a relatively strong applicant, but there are some really smart kids at my school who I know also applied. I always wonder if I should have done something differently!</p>
<p>I am second guessing myself because of all you brilliant people. ._.</p>
<p>@decillion same here. I’m just hoping that of the ~3500ish early applicants, the REALLY AMAZING ones are on here, for the most part. The possibility that the majority of their applicants are as outstanding as you guys makes me feel as if I’m getting a rejection for sure.</p>
<p>same here decillion and Xenophilius. I feel like this website has made me more well-informed, which is good, but also completely murdered my confidence.</p>
<p>Kellabell my thoughts exactly. But when I compare the number of OUTSTANDING applicants I’ve seen on here to the total that should be accepted, it’s comforting to know that there are still hundreds of spots left, and (like we’ve discussed before) the applicants represented on CC likely don’t reflect the competition from all the other applicants. So maybe there’s more room for … us. Haha :)</p>
<p>Being entirely realistic here: Practically ALL of us here are at least qualified to ‘attend’ Princeton. Now our essays, backgrounds, personal attributes, etc. are what make us all different - I can only imagine that these will be the primary factors in Princeton’s decision making. We’ve done our parts, now it’s up to them! Regardless, I’m sure they’ll end up making good decisions. Even if some of use are given disheartening news on Thursday, I’m sure we’ll all end up being successful no matter what happens. :D</p>
<p>I’m confused. How can the kid from south Dakota above know about being accepted? It comes out on Thursday. Do the accepted kids learn earlier?
also don’t get mad at decillion for talking about scea… This thread and reading his posts have helped calm me down</p>
<p>Ignore the kid from South Dakota - he’s just a ‘■■■■■.’ He hasn’t gotten a decision and only posted in hopes of evoking an emotional response from us. t_t</p>
