<p>For the record, I highly doubt there is any correlation between the lag in different emails and admit decision. If they send the email to everyone who applied, why would it make sense to sort the emails into three different lists and send the same message three times?</p>
<p>Interesting theory, but nothing to freak out over.</p>
<p>^ Couldn’t agree more. I think we’re all going slightly hysterical.</p>
<p>But at the same time, I’m so thankful for you guys and this thread. No one else really seems to understand the random teary fits or the pressure of waiting or the feeling that you’re going insane. Thank God for company :)</p>
<p>I got mine at 5:38 (2:38 PST)</p>
<p>■■■ guys i got mine at 5:37 (aol)… does anyone have the seconds on when they received their email???</p>
<p>or wait…when did everyone submit their apps? i submitted mine kind of early and i got my email early…if you submitted on nov 1st at like 11:45 maybe you got the email last??? it just doesn’t make sense, if they aren’t releasing our decision directly via email (rather they’re doing it through the site) why would they group the emails via decision? maybe they just did the emails in the order in which the emails were received…just another theory, correct if i’m wrong :)</p>
<p>lol guys seriously, the time of the e-mail has nothing to do with decision. Grouping the e-mails has nothing to do with the decision itself, it merely was data we submitted to the application that was put into no order, or alphabetical at best. i doubt they would send an e-mail like that to different pools of people at different times; it wouldn’t make any sense.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s by pin number?</p>
<p>I think it was put in alphabetical order; my last name is Zaza, and I received my email at 5:41</p>
<p>I agree. I highly doubt the email times mean anything… </p>
<p>Almost less than a day! (I really should be studying for my exams but can’t concentrate!!!)</p>
<p>It wasn’t put into alphabetical order because my last name is towards the beginning of the alphabet and my time was 5:39. Also it is unlikely there was any correlation between the decision seeing as there are more than 3 times. By pin number is a more likely theory but chances are it was totally random.</p>
<p>Less than 24 hours!</p>
<p>At this time tomorrow, we’ll know! AHH! :/</p>
<p>AAAAAAH D: I’m so scared haha. Good luck, everyone. Hopefully see all of you at Princeton :)</p>
<p>Just remember, even if you don’t get in it isn’t the end of the world. You’ll do fine a whatever college you go to. As for me, I have the mindset that I’m gonna get a rejection letter so that way by 4:00 PM tomorrow I won’t be as disappointed if I really do get rejected. Crossing my fingers</p>
<p>I’m trying to keep that mindset but somewhere deep inside my brain there’s a little voice going “You’re lying to yourself, you’re going to get in!” Even though I’m honestly almost certain that I’m not. My hope just won’t die.</p>
<p>Yeah I have the same feelings as you guys. So nervous, and just separated my shoulder in a hockey game so I really need this acceptance to lift my spirits haha.</p>
<p>crossing my fingers and can’t stop looking at the clock.
I just have wanted to go to princeton my whole life… my parents are legacy and I don’t want to let them down :(</p>
<p>Yeah I feel like I’m for sure in for a deferral/rejection, but it’s just so hard to accept. Especially after working so hard to be involved, exhibit good character, excel academically, and so forth all my life, which I know is the case for all of us. It would just be nice for all our hard work to culminate exactly how we’d like it to :)</p>
<p>Ah! My friend just got accepted early to Duke… i’m totally freaking out about tomorrow! I can’t wait to just find out, so I can continue with my life and focus on schoolwork again… and possibly other applications</p>
<p>So what’s the best way to utterly crush all hope in one’s mind even when you know there is hope?</p>
