<p>Is there anyone among the accepted who consider him/herself reeeaaaallllyyy lucky to get into Pton? Someone who had relatively low SAT I and II scores and did not have much fancy EC's but just wanted to throw it in there for sake of not "regretting later", but then was soooooooooo bloody lucky and got admitted and now is in "Oh-man-I-can't-believe-I made-it-pinch-my-cheek-if-I'm-not-dreaming" state of mind?</p>
<p>Haha, cuz that's what I wish to happen to me :D
Share your know-how's with me. I'm not gonna be competitive ANYWAY!!</p>
<p>I think everyone who gets accepted is really lucky. In reality, almost all of the applicants could do fantastically well at Princeton. Personally, I still check my letter a few times a day to make sure I didn't dream my acceptance. In no way did I think I was going to get in. I really don't know what it was that tipped me into the yes pile. I guess I'll never know! Good luck to you! :)</p>
<p>I hope that I can quote glinda next year this time. I know I will be competitive for the pool, but it will basically come down to luck of whether I get admitted or deferred.</p>
<p>I am ridiculously under-qualified compared to the rest of the people on here. My SATs are good, but not 2400, my SAT IIs are just ok (for Princeton), and my ECs are really sparse. My GPA is like a 3.7, which is definitely below average. I have no idea why I got in, other than a confluence of some favorable factors (humanities symposium, the fact that Pton is supposedly trying to build up the performing arts, which is where most of my ECs were), and a ridiculous amount of good luck.
Other than that, (like Cautious Pes) I just tried to keep in mind that another real person will be reading this, so I should look as genuinely human as possible.
Good luck to you June- it is definitely possible to get in. No promises or anything, but it could happen.</p>
