<p>Accepted: Scream, run around, scream, dance, scream, go buy some Princeton swag that I’ve been holding back from buying for years.
Deferred: Cry in a room by myself, freak out about not getting in anywhere RD, get sort of upset/angry.
Rejected: Cry in a room by myself, freak out about not getting in anywhere RD, react completely dumbfounded, since none of my college counselors/teachers/friends or myself think I’m going to be flat out rejected SCEA.</p>
<p>That’s a good question!</p>
<p>Accepted: Freak out, call my whole family, text all my friends haha</p>
<p>Deferred: --</p>
<p>Rejected: I’ll be upset, but not devastated. I’m preparing myself for the worst.</p>
<p>I’ll probably cry in all three situations. LOL. Just for different reasons.</p>
<p>accepted - running around the house screaming
deferred - staring awkwardly at the computer and wondering if I’ll actually get in RD
denied - crying at first, but after a few days I’ll be alright and then hope that I get in some of my other stretch schools RD!</p>
<p>Accepted: Scream! Seize (not literally)! Run out of my room screaming! Buy pizza for all of my dorm mates!</p>
<p>Deferred: A blunt, dull, but powerful “wind-knocked-out-of-you” feeling. I read over the letter then start working on my 10 other apps.</p>
<p>Rejected: The same crushed feeling at first, but then it turns to anger. After a while, it turns to sadness, and eventually, I accept it and start working on my other apps.</p>
<p>In my own little fictional world:
Accepted: Cry/Celebrate/Forget about that line I’ve been working on for potential rejection (“Well, it isn’t Princeton for nothing…”)
End of story (:</p>
<p>Accepted: Cry for hours, days even. The happiest tears ever shed. I’ve come to the conclusion that if I do get in, it’ll undoubtedly be the happiest moment of my entire life thus far. I’d then notify my close friends and family.</p>
<p>Deferred: This is what I’m expecting. I’ll be a bit bummed but I’ll try to remind myself that it’s only one school, and a difficult one to get into at that.</p>
<p>Rejected: Surprise. I’ll most likely cry. I’ll just be depressed/anxious about waiting until RD results.</p>
<p>Accepted: Run around the house and scream with joy and then tell everyone i know
Deferred/Rejected: Just shrug it off because im already expecting it
I know if i am not accepted SCEA im screwed for RD. RD rates will fall this year because of SCEA.</p>
<p>Accepted: Dance a little jig, call my friends & father, pop open some champagne.
Deferred: Sigh. Review my application. Obsess over my semester grades.
Rejected: Moan in disbelief. Buy a tub of ice cream. Watch horrible movies for days. Freak out about the likelihood of my college list.</p>
<p>@kameronsmith Thank you! Good luck to you too!</p>
<p>Accepted: Scream a lot. Stay up all night and bake cookies, brownies and anything else that I can burn. Have the radio really loud so I can dance.
Deferred: Tell myself this is what I was expecting (I keep saying that I most likely will be deferred to myself, but then I get excited with the ‘what if’ scenarios, silly me), and try hard not to cry for a long time. Wake up next day with a smile on my face reminding myself I still have a great life and friends.
Rejected: I would feel really crummy. Probably I will cry a lot and feel stupid for not being considered a competitive candidate. Try to get into other good colleges?</p>
<p>Each person who posts in this thread seems really passionate and interesting, and it just makes me love Princeton more. It would be really neat if I could actually end up at Princeton with you guys…</p>

<p>This. Also, we’re in the single digits now. 9 more days!</p>
<p>
Amen. Though I’m still not sure what my first choice is.</p>
<p>
9 days, 40 minutes, and 5 seconds, to be precise. And yes, I do have a countdown on my computer</p>
<p>I agree with Dreaminapples! Everyone who posts on this thread seems incredibly nice and passionate about Princeton. </p>
<p>8 days 20 hours 20 minutes everyone! :)</p>
<p>Is it just me, or does almost every SCEA applicant/chance thread here have an extremely high SAT score (2350+)? Seems that although Pton gets the fewest number of SCEAers, it has the greatest concentration of high scorers…</p>
<p>I noticed the same thing @tamlin! A lot of people make my SAT scores look terrible…</p>
<p>I got a 34 ACT and 750CR 700M 740W
790 Chemistry subject test
750 Math I subject test</p>
<p>not exceptional yet not bad.</p>
<p>I’ve accepted the fact that I’m not getting in.</p>
<p>The Princeton website says admission decisions will be posted and mailed by December 15th. Does this mean it could be earlier?</p>
<p>
Grammatically, yes. Pragmatically, no—it’s extremely unlikely.</p>
<p>
As have I. In fact, I hope we all have.</p>
<p>wow Yale and Harvard have much longer SCEA threads than us! We better step it up :)</p>
<p>so where are all of you from?
Representing Wisconsin over here!</p>
