Things to do once admitted?

<p>Well, first of all you have to celebrate!
But after that?</p>

<p>I've sent the freshmen response - I am gonna' enroll at Princeton!
I'll be sending the acceptance letter for financial aid tomorrow, as well as the International Student Certificate of Finances. </p>

<p>So now i should just wait for the I-20 to get a visa and for the matriculation materials?</p>

<p>Is there anything i'm forgeting?!?!?! Like a deposit, or other materials, forms or the sort? What exactly do you have to do once admitted in order to become a full-fledged Princetonian?</p>

<p>no I think you send the financial stuff and then wait for them to get back to you. There is no deposit to be paid as yet :)</p>

<p>1 more thing...get actively involved on cc pton 2009 threads :D</p>

<p>revan...i think u have it all covered...</p>

<p>Right on with the CC threads. Is it just me, or is the Princeton thread the most active? And have you seen the CC'ers going to be 2009 tigers? at least 40. GO CC!!!</p>

<p>As for having it all covered... dunno', it's still hard to believe that I am going to be a Princetonian. I'm trying not to really think about it untill I'm there. I still have a fear like I will forget a document or a deadline, or that I won't get a visa and thus I won't attend Princeton. Though right now I'm most afraid I won't pass the Bacalaureat cuz I don't know anything at Romanian Literature. </p>

<p>Am I the only one so stressed out?</p>

<p>revan...i hear you- i am having the same concerns...specially visa...a recent report said only 10% US visas come through here in India :(...also I will get horrifying marks in Chemistry in my board exams...acceptance will be rescinded blah blah blah :(</p>

<p>But yeah I have made a hobby out of woorying so I dunno whether to take myself seriously or not :p</p>

<p><<------post 1111 :cool:</p>

<p><strong>raises hand</strong> count me in for worryin about visa and acceptance being rescinded for 'uh, sorry - we thought u were some1 else'</p>

<p>LOL adi :D not likely after your acceptance drama :p</p>

<p>the visa though is a genuine concern :( <em>bites fingernails</em></p>

<p>if you begin to hit trouble with the visa and have family in america, have your contact bring the matter to your local congressman - i handle this stuff alot, it's very bureaucratic and it can help to have a politician on your side.</p>

<p>ooooh good idea :D...I still hope they don't give me any problems though :(</p>

<p>haha, random thought:</p>

<p>and if we don't (have family in america), can some of you american ccers adopt some of us poor visa-struggling foreigners?</p>

<p>Eternal gratitude would be guaranteed ;)... along with calling you "mum" or "dad" :D</p>

<p>Revan, believe me u r not the only one sressed out! Romanian literature horrifies me too, I really need to hone my rambling skills until the exam:(...
Sucharita, chemistry has been my nightmare throughout all high school. We have this teacher who yells his lungs out when we don't know something (luckily, the only teacher that uses this method) and now he says he should have failed all the class long ago, too bad for him it's too late now:). So I see where you're coming from.
I am very worried about the courses I'll be taking because satisfying the general requirements, the BSE/AB requiremets and the departmental requirements seems a very daunting task. Plus I can't decide between OA and Int Peor:)...The visa haunted me too until i heard that we'll be receiving the form around May 1st..And I am ashamed to admit it, but I am also afraid of flying over the Atlantic, and I have the impression that it will be a miracle if i'll manage to reach Princeton in one piece and without having lost any luggage...So, do you think I could run for the position of president of the worrying club?:)</p>

<p>"along with calling you "mum" or "dad" :D"
yeah...thanks for the warning :p</p>

<p>dianego...if u decide to run for the president of the worryin club...you can have my vote...but sucharita over here can be a very formidable competitor...:)</p>

<p>quick question. When is the financial aid agreement thingy (power of attorney?) due? Like, when do I have to send it in?</p>

<p>Wow, there's really a lot of worrying going around..Hmmm</p>

<p>This is how my brain worked today:</p>

<p>9:00 am (just woke up) Huh...morning again...five more minutes...of sleep...
9:15 am (again woke up) Don't feel like sit up...let's see what happens if I'm lying like this forever...
9:30 am (phone call)
9:32 am Okay i'm awake now. Hmmm..I sent the card, and got the financial certificate. Okay..I'll send it today..</p>

<p>6:20 pm (realizing myself completely forgotten about sending the certificate and seeing the clock yelling out 'Post office closed, you loser!') Damn it.
6:21 pm (realizing it's been three days since I made up my mind to send the certificate but still without any success) Ooh.
10:21 pm Alright i'll send it on next monday...I guess</p>

<p>Just finished filling up the Certification of Finances and the Power of Attorney Form- I am feeling so creeped out! :eek:</p>

<p>creeped out? Why?</p>

<p>because it's sooo irrevocable :p</p>

<p>No actually cuz my visa depends on the COF <em>bites fingernails</em></p>

<p>Eeeesh I forgot about the finaid thing...when is that due?!</p>

<p>april 30th</p>

<p>i called fin aid they said the form's due in september</p>
