Sour Grapes? I THINK NOT! :)

<p>hehe, now that ive been officially deferred by Harvard (ON MY 18th Birthday of all days), i can focus all my efforts and energy into the REAL school i wanna go to, Princeton :)
Go tigers, 2009....as for kebree, zante, enco, gracilisae, cav, legend and all the others that were deferred like myself, there is always hope. I've honestly grown closer with you folks online than I usually do with people. Talking to you here on the Princeton board has allowed me to open up and expose the goofy personality thats hidden underneath the long hair and Rob Zombie like beard (hahah, slight exaggeration, but its getting there)</p>

<p>....anyway, however many times you've heard this already, you folks truly ARE great people, and will end up somewhere great. The pleasure has been all mine, and I couldn't have picked a better group of people to spend the past few weeks of my life with...we've been through our share of hilarious highs and rock bottom lows, but through it all we shall all emerge as stronger, wiser, and more resolute young adults.</p>

<p>i don't want this to be the end of the chapter, but rather, the beginning of a grand adventure. please look forward to the next few weeks with the same idealistic hopes and dreams that you had before the small "bump in the road" came along. Que sera sera, whatever happens happens....let's not let this small distraction get the better of us.....and hey, if nothing else works, "Hakunama Tata" hehe; never fails to bring a smile to my face :)</p>

<p>slicmlic, you have the right attitude, good luck with RD to ALL of your schools!</p>

<p>Thanks, slic! Welcome to the illustrious Deferred Kids' Club</p>

<p>Oh, and wasn't it "Hakuna Matata?"....but no worries ;)</p>

<p>oops, haha....its the birthday champagne, lol, it's gotten to me :)</p>

<p>passes e-champagne (a princeton cc tradition) around the board.</p>

<p>Congrats to deferrees!
Happy birthday, slicmlic! Now you can apply to Princeton RD with the rest of us and become a tiger!</p>

<p>lol, watch out everyone- im about to do my tiger roar....</p>

<p>....3.....2....1....ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRR :)</p>

<p>that outta teach em, hehe</p>

<p>kebree ur gonna hit 2000 soon =P</p>

<p>awesome, slimlic, that made my day (and it's only 8:30 a.m.!) either you're really good at cheering me up or all that e-champagne is finally getting to me.... and a happy belated birthday to you!</p>

<p>let me ride on your coattails and second everything you said about the greatness of the P-ton CCers - you all are some of the nicest, funniest, talented and most intelligent people I have ever "met." while I know we still all are striving for p-ton (I know I would still do anything to go there) I'm not a bit concerned that we will all end up at excellent schools, wherever they may be. and hey - there's always grad school for us -> yale law(-tonians) board class for the class of 2012!!</p>

<p>that's very cool slimlic. Awesome attitude :) <em>passes second bottle of e-champagne</em></p>

<p>One of my friends here (a soph) was deffered by Harvard EA and got in Princeton RD.</p>

<p>it's always been my plan to donate millions to princeton in the hopes of starting up a Law school, so i figure it would make more sense if i went to pton for undergrad instead of that OTHER school in mass :)</p>

<p>lol, Princeton is not looking too good in my eyes. The only people accepted from my school were lying hypocitical preppy snobs who I would not care to spend a day with.btw I have better stats. If thats the caliber of peoplethat Pton accepts then its not the place for me.</p>

<p>please let me join the deferred list! (illustrious or not) heyslic i got my harvard deferral a day before my 18th birthday. Isnt life great?</p>

<p>well dont worry...1600 sees u a long way u know. and its probably on a 50-50 scale at the moment or maybe even better, compared to mine which would be something like 1/9999999. Take pleasure in other's failures sometimes. Its not the goal of my life at all, but it eases the stress to see that so many ppl are in the same boat - a boat thats not gonna sink.</p>

<p>what are you talkin about, callthecops? 50-50? 1/999999? :-/</p>

<p>im sayin that u probably have a 50 50 chance at the moment...so be happy that ur way abv others who have such low chances for RD like me. Simpler words?</p>

<p>lol callthecops. i would LOVE to think that its a 50-50 chance but 1600's just dont count very much any more...
i think the main problem with me is that i am not a competitive person...</p>
