i'm a banana
I FORKING LOVE MAKAR SANKRANTI
its because my moms side of the family has a very very thick rancher's drawl and my dad's side of the family has a very very thick rural washington sound which results in my pronouncing almost every word with a different inflection than expected
There was a point in my college application process where the starting line of my CAPS was, "I am the first person in my matrilineal line who can neither speak nor understand [family dialect]" before I decided it was too angry/sad and went more positive
OH MY GOD, ME TOO!!! I always get to wear the outfits that were past down from my great-grandmothers
we have a heavy jewish population here
lots of days off for holidays that most schools do not get
sometimes i feel like i have no culture but then i remind myslef that every person has culture but it just seems normal to them
im an absolute professional at catching kites
true unless youre "british"
i got like 20 in an hour
there is such thing as cultural southern idaho food
fried alligator
frog eye salad (not actually made of frog eyes)
is it potatoes
funeral potatoes
fry sauce
We haven't done it bc we don't have enough room anywhere, so we just do stuff inside
jelly meatballs
Best sweets come out during makar sankranti tho
i stayed at a hotel in spokane a couple years back and the free breakfast was some sort of fried potatoes
that shit was the bomb
kaju katli clears im sorry
F
a lot of the cultural southern idaho food is borrowed from mormons
who no longer eat it anymore
THAT'S MY FAVORITE TOO (we just only buy it during holidays bc I would go through entire packs)
Or gulab jamun
and then theres cultural events here too
summer parades are just
huge
no holiday required
random parade on any weekday at any time
I can make gulab jamun tho, so kaju katli is the rare delicacy lol
Even though it's very easy to get
people jumping off tall things and climbing tall things
also very common
caving
everyone has been to a cave here
if you havent youre lame
fuck
i need to learn how to make indian sweets
i need to learn how to cook
both literalyl and physically
Good night everyone! Last time sleeping before decisions :))

bro i wanna flop onto my bed and die for like a week straight then get up
the suspense is actually killing me 💀
either three-way - life goes on
yeah but youd know whether life goes on or not it’s still killing all of us rn
nothing anyone says can not make us nervous

The decision date is <t:1734048000:F> in your local time
15 hours, 51 minutes and 57 seconds until the decision date
I know, just trying to inject at a little positive thought in there
This is the first time a lot of you have been "judged" by your competitive output in a large pool. Either way down the line, you're going to have to continue to figure out different ways to succeed and develop/adapt new skills. So it's a bit of trial by fire, but I'm cheering for all of you
!princeton
I made the offer for anyone who wanted representation to make an icon
The other schools took me up on it I fear
In fact Cornell is gonna get their own icon later in the day for a bit

Holy cow….

I feel like I’ve felt like pretty chill the rest of the week but it just hit me
🫂🫂
Oh my god like my decisions are like immediately after my after school nap
take it slow today poikuly, i hope ur able to get ur mind off it til decisions come out :(
Thanks :)) I hope it works out for the both of us
Has anyone had a raspberry Arizona
I feel like I made it up in my head
But I swear I’ve tasted it
!princeton
No I haven’t
Another thing to do when we get Wawa
im actually so terrified lmaoooaoa
im in east asia so i need to sleep for results LOL
I feel so sigma
You should
Rejection will be liberating
Acceptance will be liberating
Deferral leads to one of those two so it is liberating
!princeton
633 minutes
How we feeling 😋😋😋
good luck everyone!
Ok I’ve had Arizona tho but not that kind haha
You too
oh im not applying to princeton lmao, im just here to see the results
Ah ok haha
I think it is real
Omg so much stuff to try
REAL OMG
I was stalking northeastern yesterday lol
10 hours y’all
I am pumped

Kitty
Last time
LOL
I’m lowkey kinda hungry
Waiting makes me hungry
Did you guys see what the admissions page posted on insta
bro
it comes at like
fucking
4 in the morning for me
ruining my sleep
PRAYING FOR YOU
That’s so tough omg
Are you gonna stay up or just look at it in the morning
the meme?
prolly sleep
Their story
why 😭
With the little tiger plush
Like I feel like I couldn’t sleep knowing it was going to come out as I am asleep
That’s true yeah

Should I submit Yale today guys
do u guys have princeton merch to wear when u open your decisions
im wearing my princeton hoodie hopefully its good luck 🙏
superstition
it would be depressing if i’m wearing princeton merch and get rejected
wear some other colleges merch lol
gonna send them “i reject your rejection” email
what if they reject the rejection to the rejection
bro
I lost my princeton merch
right as I decided to apply REA
???
WHY WOULD YOU BUY MERCH
I bought it 6-7 months ago
I was gonna apply stanford then
That’s crazy
ya
I went to princeton for shits and giggles
and bought some stuff
didnt think id apply
here we are
waiting
9 more hours
8 hours 31 minutes
chat i wish everyone the best of luck, worst thing possible is a rejection, rejection is just a redirection
👀
if anything you will get deferred and fight it with the RD kids
510 minutes
Good luck everyone!
I made a midtske
Mistake
I checked my USPS notifications out of a force of habit
And
There was no Princeton university
And there’s the possibility that it’s in a Manila envelope which would potentially be mail not package
Also how did you check this lol
Idk I’ve been signed up for this for ages
Ah I got into the no name package
It’s not from Princeton
So now we just wait and see 
Maybe they didn't send it through USPS
Exactly
guys no porttal astrology or usps astrology please 💀
just wait it out trust
all will be well
lowkey gonna crash out
Nothing from fedex
Maybe they stopped sending it this year lmao just chill
Fair but I’m signing up for these anyway for funsies
It could be mail too
read what i just said pls
how do you know
Maybe there's a guy carrying an acceptance package on a horse completely unaffiliated with major postal service companies
You live in rural Idaho anyway that's probably possible
i can confirm this happens
time to sign up for us horse postal services ❤️
Lmfao I tweaked for no reason it’s a mail piece, those don’t have advanced notice
All is well in potatoland
Wait you get the envelope the same day as decisions day ?
Probably not
@white marten
Past acceptance letters all say that
Yea I didn’t think so either
But it’s more of a really thick letter and not a package
thick of it
From the field to the farm to the Prince to the ton
I dont think theyll mail it to you with your name on it, and you probably cant see all the things that youll receive from anyone
YEAH
so dont overthink it and dont make me overthink it too lol
Who is that
apply.princeton
i swear my heart rate's been spiking up today every time i think of or hear abiut princeton
good luck guys 🙏
!princeton
The decision date is <t:1734048000:F> in your local time
7 hours, 47 minutes and 6 seconds until the decision date
precisely
yeah, why would they USPS before e-mail? pre-email, USPS was how you found out. Now e-mail is
yeah @white marten chill it's not sent yet
GOOD LUCK U GUYSSSS
if anyone has questions/concerns dont hesitate to reach out on dms 🫶 trust that it will work out
ik how you guys feel bc i remember last yr esp on decision date i couldn't get myself to do anything for the whole day
same
I have done NOTHING
its so beautifuk
oh naw. I'd be posting late night smash and pie eating contests other random shit
no, but it is dominant
u in one?
is it worth it to pay for an eating club
there's always independent, dining hall, and brown co-op
yes
I was in Charter
no
do u follow the side gate tradition
most of my friends I didn't meet in an eating club
My aunt never did one and she was fine
yes
my dad was in colonial and he said it was nice but he is ambivalent about literally everyting at princeton
or sum shit
what year?
grad 94
i went to his 25 year reunion when i was like 12 and the only thing i remember about his eating club is that they had soft serve and fortnite
It's one of the bigger buildings
lol what's the eating club, I've heard a lot about it but never bothered looking it up
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
sounds fire bro 😭
I think they'll ship it out afterwards
After we get the decision
Or atleast at a near time
i mean it will take atleast a day
we getting decision in 7 hours
In the video they all have shipping labels already
they aren't even making it to canada because of the canada post strike smh
shit bro
I mean like who else from my area are they gonna get
rip canada
lets js pray
(i live in canada)
your email is going to come much faster than any prospective usps letter
💯
emails can get delayed sometimes
I meant portal
portals can have delay sometimes
but yeah, portal, email, usps typically
3:00 am over here
will it come that early?
all of us gonna be refreshing like crzy
lol
portal delay is much faster than usps at its fastest
Mountain standard
im kidding dawg
Omg were the same time zone
That is crazy
HAHAHHA
Crazy coincidence
wait @white marten where are you from
Rural ID
If I get rejected should I ask her out to make it a double rejection and even it out?
what is rural id
why is your name rural id
and how rural 🤨
Rural Idaho
ask ur interviewer out again
That guy that actually tried to kiss his interviewer
😭
no no just making a joke
my goat
I hope he got in
good luck 🍁 we're in this together
A+ for demonstrated interest
Wait what
Last year
What's this lore
A2c subreddit
Its real
thanks phorg gl to you! i didnt apply princeton rea though im just lurking 💀💀
I could get the mail soon who knows since I’m only 40 mins away from Princeton
Don't drive to the office
why not
Why would I do that 😂
I mean, practically speaking, could you imagine the mayhem if every applicant in driving distance descended on campus?
annual princeton rejection conference
Less practically speaking, I'd want to table reject everyone who shows up 😅
stop why yall international too 😭
my bad
i can’t even sleep
sorry for being born in the wrong country
yeah im sorry too
its 8.30 pm rn in my country
should have been born in cali
its 11
Where u from

2am here…..
India

trust
yh
ive been to ohio
BRO
omg are u from korea or smth
Ur the first
yeah 😭😭
On this thread
you should just sleep youll learn tomorrow
I thought I was the only indian
Did you do rea?
Can confirm I’m definitely getting in based on location alone /s
its better than learning in the middle of the night like me
like really want to but lowk cant ahshhahaha
yh
i have to open my results in ap spanish tmr LOLL
good luck pookies and pookersons
Nah ur probably more cracked
rural texas would slap harder though
maybe
I just applied for fun
!princeton
The decision date is <t:1734048000:F> in your local time
6 hours, 26 minutes and 42 seconds until the decision date
Nah
bro lets seeeeee
"apply for fun"
SCEA
6 hrs 💀
anything can happen
Where are you from if you don't want mind
I think rural Montana and the dakotas would be more advantageous but that’s it
what is scea
are yall gonna record yourselves
HELL NO
rea
Same
Fr
cs
ok but what is its an acceptance
calm
oh youre cooked
!cooked
@devout furnace is absolutely doomed.
@devout furnace feels this server is the place to bring it up time and time again.
@devout furnace is truly A2Cooked.
are you from the "feeder" schools in delhi
Definitely
indian cs major how rare
naur
I know right
Rural Idaho physics major (I’m the only one)
Yeah all that
dpsrkp
hell no
aes tbs tsrs
ok not feeder feeder
I dont count moulsari
baby feeders
does like princeton consider majors
na
No
Definitely
they have barely few ivys a year
what
thats just a normal IB school
They don’t admit by major
If you go for a less popular major they might take that as a reason to accept you
Because everyone is entered as just an AB or BSE student
valid
And you declare spring of sophomore year
yeah
def
the hardest majors go crazy
ye
Potentially but I don’t think applying to a popular major disadvantages you
I hope not
what major
Astrophysical sciences major and music minor
english
applied rea?
yupp
🙏
waittt i have a friend who’s applying to princeton from rural idaho who did research in chicago with me
that’s so funny, small world hahahah
wait how comee
cuz yall writers
i mean
shud have a good cae
hopefully
I should’ve waited to see if I would’ve got Q1 request
it probably doesn't mean something bad so 🤞🤞
did u send it in
whats a Q1 request?
hopefully just means they considered me for a reason 😭
Are your midyears already submitted
I sent in optional report
my school reports annually
my predicted grade only went for year 12
princeton sends out grade requests for a quarter of ur semester if they want more info abt u for some reason
You're cbse right
ah okay
Ohh
wby
Cbse
ah okay
wait but he’s from rural northern idaho
idaho 🥔
What the fuck
I LOVE IDAHO
ur direct comp
Im cooked
LMAO
@white marten u da ho?
RURAL IDAHO
Why did you say that
scholarship
That was so fucking rude
lmao
ATHAGZUWHAVAVZA
That was so rude
nah you both get in ez
what was rude
!cooked
@white marten is absolutely doomed.
@white marten feels this server is the place to bring it up time and time again.
@white marten is truly A2Cooked.
Telling me about someone that’s much much better than me
That is my direct competition
!cooked
@quasi spoke is absolutely doomed.
@quasi spoke feels this server is the place to bring it up time and time again.
@quasi spoke is truly A2Cooked.
na na, we both know ur better
calm
Im getting rejected flat out now
500th time!
I don’t have any academic research
record!!!!
Which state
This is fucked
instant ucsd admit
There’s nothing I could’ve done
Absolutely nothing
they compare country wise
we good
dont they do region wise
Are you positive it was rural and not Coeur d’Alene or something
naur
oh lmao
Bro
idk my country small af
coeur d'alene is balls
Singapore/South korea sat scores are fucking wild
i dont like it
1480 average for singapore and south korea
absolutely no idea
1590 🤭🤭
but my ap scores are trash
what the fuck
maybe it is rural iowa
BROTHER
jesus
You're gonna stay up till decision?
I was gonna say rural northern Idaho are quite literally forest people
im a night owl
its fine
I trade US markets in my free time

yeahhh
thats a rlly good one
i loved the prompt
but took like 2 weeks
to come up with a song
lol
love it sm
reallll
i had to dig thru all my spotify playlists
had like 7 candidates 😭
I wanted a daniel caeser song
Im gonna continue operating under the idea that I am the only rural Idaho applicant out of delusion
pls thats so good
mad sounds Arctic monkeys
ARCTIC MONKEYSSS
CRAZY
chat
what would be the WORST
song
to put
apt
Yale
naa thats fire
skibiddi toilet
Thick of it
it would be funny
if the AOs played the song in the bg while they reviewed our apps
which i doubt they did but still
it’s a fun thought
That would be cool
Im so cooked
they bob their heads to the music and go like
So so so so cooked
good vibes
like a vibe check
stop it
No
At this point I’m hoping for a deferral
best to think we’re all getting rejected
ngl
and be super happy if otherwise
There’s no way I’m the best applicant from my state
Literally me
This makes it seem like theres so many acceptances
I would not be too sad with a deferral, cuz that confirms that application had no red flags
bruh lowk hopefuly now cuz i though i was competing with a larger part of asia
Im just so angry at my situation
if it’s just south korea there probably arent too many REA applicants
I can’t do anything more
dy understand what ur doing
Im dooming
1 person told you 6 hours before the deadline of ur dream school
that someone just APPLIED
and ur overthinking so much
realise how stupid that is
If they’re the better applicant they’re getting in
And research makes you a better applicant
I could’ve sent cold emails
u know the only thing good about ur application is that ur from a rural place is obviously false
dawg
who knows honestly there might be one more person applying besides u two
you never know
stop having anxiety
What does this sentence mean
relax
best to just admit that what you already did is done and best
sorry lemme rephrase
ur application is more than the fact that ur from rural idaho
theyre saying there are other things on ur app worth considering besides ur geography
I did the most I could and if that ain’t even worth a DEFERRAL?!?! What are people from my school supposed to do in the future? Not try?
u dont even know if ur in
calm
listen to ur favourite song that describes ur life at this moment
and chill
bro honestly college admissions are like 50% luck, you have no idea what would happen
listening to creep by radiohead 😩
princeton is literally the WORST in terms of admission predicability
UGHHSGS
best to have 0 hope
rural idaho dude take a chill pill
most healthy method is to (try to) admit ur gonna get a rejection
and if otherwise? celebrate
ye
even a deferral will sound good
I was feeling so fine this morning 😭
(trying to cope rn)
u are fine
I just want it to be over
yeah an acceptance would be pretty cool yknow not a big deal but hey
I just want to take my rejection and move on
I didnt 😦
Im gonna listen to boulevard of broken dreams on repeat tonight
i totally wont freak out
for 2 hours
!princeton

fuuuck 7 hours
ur depressing me now
jesus
Join the club
bipolar whiplash here
!princeton
wow
ur disheartened that someone else from ur state applied
to the #1 uni in america
Someone rural with research

I know other people are applying
how dare they
At the end of the day I’m just extraordinarily jealous that people can do things that I can’t
his slice of uniqueness is just getting smaller
dont worry shouldn’t really matter too much 😭 ive read of some ppl who got in without q1 grade requests
ngl man
its fine
I’ll get over it
I’ll go to state school and do research there
so relax
There’s a nuclear physics program
that'd be the case but ı think most of the acceptances got one
idk
That looks cool
No that’s not true
People who got one may be mostly accepted but it’s not the other way around
seems like it but i feel like generally reddit is skewed cuz only acceptances would post abt, yknow, being accepted. those who are deferred or rejected despite getting a q1 request probably feel too shitty to bother saying anything
good
Research isn’t unique 
Creating robotics camps for 75 underprivileged children is unique
our stuff might not be as impressive as ppl who have done far greater things bc of skill/luck/opportunities
but it’s the best we could do and im lowk proud
how much are people in india losing it over Gukesh?
i’ve accepted that whatever decision i’ll get i’ll be sad but i won’t regret anything
lol
ok but if its an acceptance ill be happy
oh shit
he won
but
its sad
holy shit it was 1 hour to 9 minutes by the end
yeah well, he's the best int he world who cared to play in the classical matches
ye
if he wants to be better than magnus, he's gotta beat him in rapid/blitz
it would be hella poetic
if
Magnus won against vishy
and
GUkesh won against magnus
I hate my TL
why a princeton dude showing up
fr
who the eff is this guy and why should I care
no reason to believe that
heartbreaking to watch Ding do what Ian's body language from last year
