What would you do if you got rejected (or deferred)?

<p>how could anyone not be happy at princeton...?</p>

<p>Cavilier,</p>

<p>Sometimes it is bliss to accept that 'the adcom knows best what is best for us, and what would really make us happy' :-)</p>

<p>I have this sudden, sinking feeling I'm not going to Princeton</p>

<p>i think we all do, man.</p>

<p>Sudden? I think parts of me have always felt that way.
But let's be optimistic and think about coffee at frist together.</p>

<p>hmm yeah. but i dunno. i didn't dread it before</p>

<p>hmm I'm not at that point. I'm still eagerly counting down the days. 24.5!</p>

<p>It's hard to be optimistic but it's hard to ignore how great it would be otherwise... I'll take you up on that coffee, Zant :P</p>

<p>hmm nah tang sounds better, more zing to it imo, lol</p>

<p>o.o oh god, now everyones on the exact opposite viewpoint. I didnt mean to squeeze out all the hopes and optimism out of you ppl, just provide a equal force so that you dont stray to either extreme, lol, so cheer up!</p>

<p>Optimism is always good, just not planning for what to do once u get into pton, lol. Idk, i'm very optimistic right now, and i'm still preparing all my other applications knowing that theres a good chance i wont be accepted</p>

<p>screw it..a rejection from HYP will give me a chance attend Stanford, a school that i've recently fallen in love with big time</p>

<p>Wow, I don't see how people can just
a) switch to another school the night before
b) fall in love with a different school while already having applied.</p>

<p>Maybe it's not the same for everyone, but for me, I didn't leave myself any room to like another school as much as I like Princeton. I was (and am) 100% sure that it is my favorite.</p>

<p>kayoshin, it wasn't reading the thread that did that to me! Anyway, that was just a swing. I think I'll learn to deal with that.</p>

<p>25 days, is it. I hope all the best for everyone here.</p>

<p>i'm in love with all the schools i'm applying to :), Stanford has been on my list for a while</p>

<p>So you'll be happy anywhere, but don't wish for a rejection!</p>

<p>haha, i'm definitely not hoping for a rejection! i'm just thinking about the way that i'd handle it. in fact, if i get in, i'll probably put on my crimson harvard shirt and start running around like a madman!</p>

<p>hahaha ivyleaguechamp that is the best response i've seen, by far</p>

<p>hahaha</p>

<p>i agree, zant. i dont see how ppl change their favoraite schools like that. You should like all the schools you apply to, no doubt, but how there will be only one ultimate favoraite; that is up until i end up attending a different one, when i will force a change of my favoraite school</p>

<p>ill cry my eyes out if i get rejected early. if i get deferred, i will cry, but not as much as i would cry if i get rejected. if i get admitted, i will also cry, more than i would if i get deferred, but less then if i get rejected... so i will cry nonetheless... lol</p>

<p>lol I think I'd definitely cry if I get deferred but no way if I get in~</p>

<p>i think i'll send death threats to princeton and assassinate all of those accepted on CC</p>

<p>(I'm not a nice person)</p>
