<p>Not that i'm a pessimist or anything, but just curious to see responses. Dont think too much into it, and kinda keep the responses light (its hypothetical after all). heh
Notice all the warnings i gave. This is a touchy subject after all... ">.></p>
<p>i guess i'll start.
Rejected: curse around a bit, mope around for a few days... then pick myself back up and move on. I dont think i could ever fully get over the rejection deep inside me...</p>
<p>Defferal (sp?): <em>score</em> i'd be very pleased with myself. At least that would mean i stand a good chance in the RD. Then i'd REALLY get started on my Dec sats, and improve my grades (i look at deferral as a motivating factor, not a defeat).</p>
<p>*deferred
and "what would you DO if you got rejected (deferred)"
sorry, I'm a grammar freak at times. </p>
<p>I think I'd be really depressed if I were rejected, especially know that they don't outright reject so many people. I'd probably cry a bit, pity myself, pig out on everything I've ever wanted to eat, make my parents take me out to a fancy dinner anyway, lol. </p>
<p>Mostly the same for deferred. Send other apps, curse the people who got in, (sorry guys) and eat a lot...</p>
<p>geez this is starting to sound like I'm going to be rejected AND fat. </p>
<p>But anyway, it'll be winter vacation at least =)</p>
<p>haha, yes, shrek. That's exactly what it is.</p>
<p>Umm, I guess if I were rejected, I'd be just...wow, y'know? They don't seem to outright reject many of their applicants, so yeah, I'd be in a sucky mood for quite a while. But eventually life would go on...I think. I know this is an option, but for some reason I just don't think I'll end up getting rejected in the first round. But I guess no one can really know for sure.</p>
<p>Deferred. Ugh. I just hate the whole purgatory idea. I mean, if it meant that I'd ultimately get into Princeton, I'd endure the long, nerve-wracking three-and-a-half months, but if it meant that after all of that waiting, I'd get rejected...yeah, that would suck. a LOT.</p>
<p>ahh true, theres always winter vacation... mebbe if i get rejected my parents will try to make me feel better by getting me a nice present (still nothing compared what i would have gotten had i been accepted..) heh heh</p>
<p>It'd be hard to come to my beloved CC knowing that many of you will be ecstatic. But I know I won't be able to resist, so it's really quite a dilemma...like purposely doing something painful to yourself. But it'll be bittersweet I guess</p>
<p>oops sry zante, my grammer messed up again lol</p>
<p>here i'll fix it: mebbe if i get rejected my parents will try to make me feel better by getting me a nice present (still nothing compared what i would get should i be accepted..)</p>
<p>It will be bittersweet. Painfully so. I was actually talking to my friends about whether or not I even wanted to come on here that entire week simply for fear of a) my being rejected/deferred and many others accepted, thus me being the poor, pitied/pitiful one; or b) vice versa. Ideal is, of course, c) everyone gets accepted and we fly to Princeton that day for an impromptu CC '09 Princetonians party. But alas, I fear that won't happen. Sad day, my friends. Sad day.</p>
<p>Well, I can promise that I won't be on that much for two weeks after d-day no matter what, as I will be spending winter vacation with legendofmax :)</p>
<p>i would cry and cry. Then, I'd sit in my room listening to John Mayer with all the lights off. Thankfully, my exams would be over, so it really wouldnt' matter. I'd rip down all the posters off my wall and burn the clothes. After, I calmed down... who am I kidding, I'd never calm down.</p>
<p>Actually the reason i put this thread up was this:
I saw the sister thread to this just now, and the feeling i got just from reading the thread was scary. I dont believe its wrong to have that kind of hope and dream at all, of course not, i thrive off of it myself. But still, i remembered how many ppl would be rejected, and cry and suffer, and all. I just wanted to spark your thoughts and make ppl consider the other half of the scenario. This way, your reaction to a rejection or deferral would have been preplanned, and thus mitigated. It's kind of a disillusionment i guess.
Only cuz its princeton, the hardest school to get into, heh.</p>
<p>gah... procrastinating bites like a *****, or rather it's my conscience.
I'm gonna go get started on my projects and labs that've been piling up.</p>
<p>I don't think you can really plan such a thing. I can't predict how I will feel or what I will do for either scenario...maybe I'll be all smug and secretive and never tell you guys =)</p>
