<p>because i worshipped at the altar of lady luck.
aka i got lucky.
LOL.</p>
<p>i don’t think i’ll get in.
last minute essay panicking after dwelling for ages on the essay and throwing out drafts after drafts…
- horrible interview.</p>
<p>oh and also cuz i applied ED to columbia. =0</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone should think they will get in…</p>
<p>@BeautifulNerd219: I’d rather not say, for privacy reasons :P</p>
<p>I’m quite strong at engineering. I have no fatal flaws. My interviewer told me that I should be able to get in.</p>
<p>Lol @chinatown- I’m going to assume you live in Scottsdale and have rich parents then. Lol. I don’t know why. I guess I will just say my school is ghetto. That leaves open a lot of things.</p>
<p>I have terrible stats (I’m above average academically but nowhere near Ivy standard). </p>
<p>My sup. essay wasn’t very well written sooo… bleh. I’m expecting a rejection come April 1st. </p>
<p>Should I be accepted, it will be because the admissions officer was in a philanthropic, good mood xD And my interview went rather well I suppose. But yeah, divine intervention is necessary if I’m to get in lmao.</p>
<p>If I get in, it will be because of SAT (2340), interview (Said I was an amazing fit and that she would write the best she could), and overall cohesiveness of application (Humanitarian experience, major ECs, intended major, engineering essay)</p>
<p>If I don’t get in, I don’t care (okay, I’d cry for about 10 hours, and then I’d be done). My application essay was terrible, and my stats don’t blow those of others out of the ballpark. Besides, my Princeton interviewer offered me a tutoring job, and the chick has guap. I’d make good money here in NYC, so it makes good sense to stay put. :)</p>
<p>My name got hit on the dartboard. </p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>Fine Arts… hoping that sets me apart</p>
<p>Princeton should accept me to look more diverse with regards to minorities who are not over-represented in college admissions.</p>
<p>URM +1</p>
<p>I really don’t think I’ll be accepted but whatevs.</p>
<p>if I am it’ll be because my supp essay. visit to the anne frank house in amsterdam con los padres. I feel like I made it not cheesy/ sort of good-ish. </p>
<p>or maybe because my interviewer was rolling with laughter at my description of being reeled into a metal cello quartet fresh/soph year. headbanging and arranged metallica songs happened. at solo & ensemble. yes, I have cello parts to “creeping death” and “fade to black”.</p>
<p>…but most likely URM status.</p>
<p>still not expecting to get in.</p>
<p>I probably won’t get in but if I do…</p>
<p>perhaps the admission’s officer is a twilight fan? :S</p>
<p>Bleh Princeton would be very good news, but now that I got into Caltech, my life has calmed down much more. </p>
<p>If I get in, I’ll be extremely happy, but if not then it wasn’t meant to be and I won’t bother with it much more. I mean what can anyone do more than just cross their fingers?</p>
<p>Amen</p>
<p>If I am actually accepted, it will be my essay. Probably the best I’ve ever written. I used it for Columbia and Yale too.</p>
<p>my amazing biceps. lol. </p>
<p>but seriously, i sent them a life size picture of me. with a recording telling them why they should accept me… my mom thinks though that i overdid it with princeton… well, i had to compensate for the lack of interview so i did it</p>
<p>I have no chance of getting in. </p>
<p>The Princeton essay word count limit was something around 500. My essay was 800 words because I didn’t want to cut it down. </p>
<p>Having a long essay is probably not a problem for the common app, but will I be viewed negatively by the admission committee for breaking a clearly stated wordcount for the supplement essay?</p>
<p>I don’t think I’ll get in.</p>
