Princeton University Class of 2022 SCEA Applicants Thread

@HolaHola2 you mean ~16 hours?

How do I prepare myself for rejection?

@afh137 Oh crap you’re right, I got my AM and PM messed up.

cry @capitalizmispoison

Thanks I’ll be sure to do that.

@capitalizmispoison overthrow capitalism and destroy all books supporting keynesian economics and introduce an alternative structure.

After weeks of reading this thread, I’d like to finally post and say that I am overwhelmingly excited for decisions to be released. Princeton has always been my dream university and it’s crazy to think that by 3 p.m. our fates (for college, at least) will be decided.

As much as I would LOVE to go to Princeton I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not an end-all-be-all. If we do get deferred or rejected we can always fall in love with other schools, career paths, etc. I can’t wait for decisions to come out, but also would appreciate a deferral or rejection bc princeton is saving me the trouble of realizing that other schools may be better fit for me. Just a thought.

While you wait, you may want to watch the movie Admission with Tina Fey. It was a great distraction!

Has anyone created a results page? We should use a similar format to the chance me, except now we will be able to fill in the final result and reason why we think this was the result.

Good luck all! It has been fun ghosting this thread, it seems like everyone here is a qualified individual, a fact that is important to remember with tomorrow’s decision on the way. Princeton would be a much larger school if they admitted every person solely based on their qualifications, but unfortunately a lot of it is luck and what they need that year.

I do not know about y’all, but tomorrow I will be indulging in comedies and a tub (or two) of ice cream, regardless of the decision. Keep your spirits high: if you get into Princeton, congratulations! However, if you do not, reflect on this as a learning experience on your path to success. I am confident that in a year we will all be happy wherever we end up, especially if that place is in New Jersey ;).

Hey guys, I just made one. Sending everyone the best of luck. It’s been an honor to get to know all of you on CC. Here’s hoping we can continue to get to know each other at Princeton next year. :x

Speaking of getting to know each other next year, I wonder how often somebody makes friends with somebody on college confidential and then befriends the real person without ever realizing it. It’s funny to think about.

12 hours to go ya’ll

good luck y’all! finger crossed

really not sleeping well here, friends …

@university2022 it’s ok. you can let out your concerns here if you want to!

Saw this on a few threads, let’s get some positivity trending!

I believe Princeton WILL accept me on Wednesday because of my well-written personal statement, my strong gpa and test scores, the rigor of my course work, my dedication to my ec’s and the leadership positions I have held in them, my amazing letters of rec, my demonstrated interest in both the school and the major I have applied to, and my personality which I believe was effectively demonstrated throughout my essays.
If Princeton chooses to not accept me, it just simply means the universe has another plan for me. I know I’ll end up somewhere getting to study what I love.
