<p>Great post, FitzRandolph. Thank you.</p>
<p>Yes, that was great!!
But here's the thing: I have had every opportunity in the world and yet I still feel like some of the people on CC who have been deferred are more qualified than me. But, you know what? If Princeton saw something in me that they liked, that's great and I will happily take the challenge of living up to their expectations.</p>
<p>FitzRandolph2010, thank you. I feel like you were describing parts of me. And to all those who got in w/out perfect stats (i.e. Qwertulen), please enjoy it, be confident in you abilities and know that if you are willing to you will contribute greatness to the world. I was deferred; low stats but with great life experiences behind me (immigrant, family, and major culture clash issues etc.). I have been taking deferral pretty roughly b/c P-ton was the only thing I have ever wanted . posting on CC is making me feel better though it comforts me to know though that great, humble people make up the majority of the student body at the school I so love (not you Calculus). So be happy, be proud, and no guilt b/c we all in our own ways deserved Princeton!</p>
<p>Peace.</p>
<p>CC is not representative at ALL of the applicant pool. I was deferred, and I feel my deferral was justified. You probably had something wonderful in your application. Maybe you showed off your great personality, maybe your recommendations/essays were glowing, who knows. And a 2220 isn't "bad" at all. I know by now that numbers mean absolutely nothing. Hell, I had a 2380. You shouldn't feel guilty at ALL, because you legitimately got in. Congratulations!</p>
