<p>Okay, this might be a stupid question but I does anyone know if Princeton notifies applicants of its decision online or not? I was trying to find my pton pin, but then I couldn't find it and I now that I think it over, I don't remember getting one to begin with.</p>
<p>people on cc have been saying that they don't send decisions through email, and i would guess that they're right</p>
<p>If you're accepted you will receive a large white thick envelope sent US Priority.
Internationals have been notified with DHL.</p>
<p>For ED, at least, Internationals also got email. But no one else does.</p>
<p>I believe the emailing of Internationals is new this year.
Last year a girl in India never received her thick envelope from DHL and got word of her acceptance during Princeton's online chat.
Admissions would not want that to happen again.</p>
<p>Now that wud have been the most pleasant surprise awaiting her future.....** CRAZY **</p>

<p>S had his interview yesterday and the interviewer said Princeton would begin deciding who gets in on Thursday. Exciting!</p>
<p>Wow. Isn't that really late to start? They have a LOT of applications to go through.</p>
<p>some of em start reading all of them first, then make decisions later</p>
<p>Actually, for US applicants it's just regular USPS First Class Mail, in a large envelope.</p>
<p>im already peeing in my pants</p>
<p>During ED time, the decisions were mailed out Dec. 13. Internationals were the only ones who got e-mails because of the uncertainty of international mail. People in the NJ area generally got their decisions in the mail the next day. We here on the West Coast had a grueling wait. When we called the Princeton office, they said that those who had not yet gotten their decisions in the mail by the evening of Dec 15 could call in the next morning of Dec 16 to find out the decision. We ended up having to call and were overjoyed! Then the very next day the big white envelope arrived.</p>
<p>P.S.
They only let the student call in for the decision and they ask for your SSN as an identifier.</p>
<p>I don't know if they will have the same policy during the RD round of letting people call in, if they haven't gotten a decision by a certain date. There are tons and tons more people applying RD and it would probably tie up their phone lines.</p>
<p>Then again, the vast majority of applicants ED probably didn't know that they could call in.</p>
<p>The stipulation was they could only call in if they hadn't received their envelopes within the normal time it takes for USPS first class to arrive. </p>
<p>(Princeton was trying to accomodate the fact that the ED applicants needed to know right away whether or not they would need to apply to other colleges whose deadlines were looming overhead) But all that is in the past now and probably not relevant to RD.</p>
<p>Oh man...</p>
<p>I can't imaaagine hearing the admissions decision over the phone. It would just suck sooo much to have someone say, "I'm sorry...but we can't offer you a spot." asfgdhashj.</p>
