<p>a beautiful mind is such a great movie too...and honestly, its where i first got the idea of going to princeton. it's just such a pretty campus. how cheesy am i, deciding where to go to college based on my movies? i love it...</p>
<p>Rlaurad,exactly, that's how i fall in love with Princeotn. i even tried to walk the infinity sign on the quad in front of Blair hall as Nash did on his bike in the movie</p>
<p>worst case: apply ED, get deferred, pray every day for admission, be waitlisted, hang on to the slim chance only to ultimately get rejected after 8 months of stress and awaiting.</p>
<p>Worst case:
get rejected.
Freak out because I'm way behind on all my other apps and I'll be writing essays while in the midst of a terrible depression.</p>
<p>actually, I'm thinking getting deferred could potentially be even WORSE because then I'd be extremely stressed out by the slim chance.</p>
<p>Wow, that movie is really more harm to Princeton than help. No offense, but Princeton is a beautiful campus granted, but applying because of a movie, that inflates their numbers don't you think?</p>
<p>worst case-first i get my rejection letter, i feel depressed and slam the door to my room extra hard. then as a result of the butterfly effect, a tsunami comes and wipes out los angeles. then a crazy general will get angry at god because his family was in la, and try to nuke the earth. he'll shoot one off, and then everyone will get angry and start shooting off nukes. everyone on earth will be vaporized, and if anyone somehow manages to survive, they will be slowly and painfully finished by the radiation. then somehow, because of the force the nukes will cause on the earth, the earth will fly out of its orbit and crash into jupiter. then both of them combined will get sucked into the sun, causing it to get knocked off course into another star, until the entire galaxy is one gigantic ball of fire. this star will then explode, destroying every planet out there, and then will turn into a masssive black hole. the power of the black hole will suck in other black holes until the whole universe is one gigantic black hole the size of the pin. needless to say, everything in the universe will be destroyed along with all life on it. So there you go, if i get rejected from princeton, it literally will be the end of the world. (and universe)</p>
<p>if the sun were to turn into a black hole, it wouldn't suck up everything.</p>
<p>Worst Case... Well, I could end up spending the next four years in Happy Valley... that is University Park, Pennsylvania (Penn State) for the rest of you. At least I know I'm there. Got accepted last month, hehe... That is a ncie thing with being a number at a big state school.. just SAT score and GPA. Blue dots mean Main, Yellow mean satellite, and Black mean no go... there really is a chart! I've seen it!</p>

<p>same here Pyramid</p>
<p>namkim, are you kidding? its the whole sound in space thing from starwars. if any of you have seen starwars, youll remember that there is sound in space in the movie. of course there is no sound in space in real life. so all the starwars nerds all go "hey theres no sound in space" yeah but there are no ewoks fighting storm troopers either. when everything is made up, you cant notice one thing and say "hey thats not possible!" duh!! everything is made up! so what if george lucas made up some new laws of physics? he made everything else up so whats wrong with that? same way, i made up the whole story so i might as well make everything else up too. strange, its plausable for me slam a door and cause a tsunami in la, but its not cool for the sun to become a gigantic black hole. actually, its impossible for most of that to happen. nukes cant move the earth, earth wont suddenly gain momentum and crash into jupiter! jupiter crashing into the sun wont move it. strangely, i knew i was breaking the laws of physics when i wrote it, but it didnt matter, i was just trying to make an amusing story for you all. oh well.</p>
<p>starry and machiavelli .... ditto with UT! Hook 'em horns! Yeah worst case scenario for me would be get rejected and then get rejected everywhere else.. hopefully that won't be happening. My 2nd choice is Barnard (branch of Columbia) and I love NYC so that wouldn't be a bad shindig either. ;-)</p>
<p><em>points to Shark Bite's post about the butterfly effect</em></p>
<p>I love you for that.
they should accept you solely on the basis of that.</p>
