Princeton SCEA Decision Date

The decision date is <t:1734048000:F> in your local time
48 minutes and 46 seconds until the decision date

[quasi spoke]

i arrived at school like an hour ago

and have been watching college decision videos for 1 hr

[old turtle]

I mean, it's just basic geometry at this point

[quasi spoke]

i skipped geometry :D

[jolly wasp]

im in school rn we are watching a movie and my friend got rejected from nyu 2 hours ago so it doesnt help 😦

[old turtle]

it's jover for you

[quasi spoke]

pls my friend who did nyu isnt showing up at school rn im scared

[jolly wasp]

will you do reaction videos while opening your decision

[quasi spoke]

just gonna record myself

just in case good stuff happens in the future and i feel like making a full video

[old turtle]

I couldn't do that. Recording myself is just cringe

[jolly wasp]

same but my friends will be around while ım opening so theyll probably freak out with me in case of acceptance

[quasi spoke]

ok but if u get in it becomes a super good video

[jolly wasp]

but ill record just myself

[quasi spoke]

SAME JHEFBJEWHF im opening it in the middle of our last ap spanish class party

we're having hot cocoa

[jolly wasp]

yeah ill post it on insta immediately

[quasi spoke]

id like wait for a few hours

and then subtly let my friends know

god im saying this like im already in kill me now

[jolly wasp]

45 mins left OMG

[rustic yoke]

Do they send you an email if you get in

After they release decisions

Cause I’m at work rn and down wanna open it till I get home but don’t wanna be spoiled through email

[jolly wasp]

first my mother then my counselor then tweeting about it then eventually all of my friends and school and beyond

[quasi spoke]

yes pls

[jolly wasp]

they wont reveal your decision via mail

[quasi spoke]

im definitely rushing to my history teacher fist

*first

[jolly wasp]

theyll just say they revealed them and give a link or smth

[quasi spoke]

she's so supportive i love her

[rustic yoke]

Oh ok perfect

[versed sail]

[quasi spoke]

[wicked widget]

fr

[quasi spoke]

i just have the portal sitting open next to me rn like an idiot

[versed sail]

cornell going crazy

[median zealot]

guys go watch youtube or listen to music or go for a walk

it'll help trust

[wicked widget]

is deferred a good thing at princeton or does it happen to a lot of ppl

[jolly wasp]

i cant go on a walk rn so im just listening to music and find ways to make time pass

[latent kernel]

not bad outcome

[quasi spoke]

i heard deferral rates used to be pretty high like harvard

[median zealot]

that's good

[median zealot]

not bad, deferral rate is pretty high

[quasi spoke]

but my counselor insists that it's less than what it used to be

the deferral rate i mean

[median zealot]

chances after deferral are about the same as RD

[elfin sedge]

!princeton

[median zealot]

according to my ao

[wicked widget]

oh okay, wait ur at princeton right

[median zealot]

yeah

[median zealot]

yeah she came to my school

it was pretty interesting actually

[warm panther]

ah okay nice

[quasi spoke]

INTL MANIFESTING

[wicked widget]

azul we got this

[violet vector]

What's the defer rate?

Heard it's high

[quasi spoke]

🙏

[quasi spoke]

i dont think theres a specific number

but it should be similar to harvard i think??

[violet vector]

Prob

[quasi spoke]

maybe a little less idk

[violet vector]

Princeton likes to hide these things

[jolly wasp]

no harvard is like more than 80%

[quasi spoke]

yeah they stopped releasing stats like this after a while

[violet vector]

I just want to know if it'll be a soft reject or could go either way

[jolly wasp]

princeton is far less than that as far as i know

[wicked widget]

i’m putting my phone away for 40 min and coming back, @quasi spoke update me

[violet vector]

Praying for a simple accept but gotta be real

[jolly wasp]

i just wish there was no such thing as grade requests

why dont they ask everyone anyway

its just the same mail

[open basin]

!cornell

[jolly wasp]

its the only reason i overthink rn

[violet vector]

Honestly I should have waited on that
I sent my q1 grades immediately which was like right after the deadline

Could have been a clue

[jolly wasp]

my counselor sent them last thursday maybe i could've received it on friday but idk

[old turtle]

it's not a thing, it's basically portal astrology

[warm panther]

@quasi spoke what region?

[elfin sedge]

Does the subject line in the email tell you if you got in

[jolly wasp]

this made me feel much better rn

[violet vector]

There's an email?
I thought we're spamming f5 on the portal

[elfin sedge]

Like for UPitt it said “we can’t wait to show your our decision” or something like that

[violet vector]

Actually it makes sense they all use slate anyways

And my state schools emailed

[elfin sedge]

I have a concert tonight

At 7 😭

Should I open it before

[violet vector]

Yeah ik a guy who has a concert during his nwu ed

He's gonna open there

[elfin sedge]

I’m thinking of waiting

[versed sail]

lfao

lmfao

[elfin sedge]

Bc I want to be with my family ykk

[versed sail]

bro, you guys should do a college reaction video for ed

[violet vector]

[warm panther]

okay

and when do i send my loci

[mortal ermine]

your interviewer doesnt even influence your decision anymore

[white marten]

do I send a LOCI to admissions?

[mortal ermine]

no point

[bronze sundial]

Iirc like later

[mortal ermine]

the letter said to send an LOCI by the end of january

[bronze sundial]

Closer to rd deadline ish so you have updates to put on there

[stuck summit]

#1316919438729150547

[white marten]

I actually have lots of updates so hopefully I get in RD

[stuck summit]

more discussion about loci there!

[bronze sundial]

Actually yeah go there

Go to deferral doom

That sounds so evil

[bronze sundial]

Best of luck ❤️❤️❤️

[young comet]

you got this guys lol keep an open mind, you never know where you will end up but its all for the best imo

[stuck summit]

it was damnation last year so doom feels slightly less scary

[white marten]

GUYS

I AM THE FIRST PERSON FROM MY HIGH SCHOOL TO BE WORTHY OF PRINCETON ADMITTANCE

[serene tinsel]

WOOOO

[bronze sundial]

This is true

[bronze sundial]

YESSSS

[ionic siren]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[bronze sundial]

DELULU IS ALWAYS THE SOLULU IS MY MOTTO

[somber bough]

YEAHHHH

[white marten]

I was deferred btw

[bronze sundial]

that’s for all deferred peeps

[white marten]

Settle your kettle

[somber bough]

first deferral?

[white marten]

Yeah

And first rejection if that comes to pass

[versed sail]

Roses are red, violets are blue, Princeton said no, but your dreams still will be true.

[white marten]

Can any experts tell me what deferral might mean in my particular scenario

[old turtle]

no

[young comet]

hard to say because REA is kind of a self selecting population, lots of legacies and athletes getting picked off first

[white marten]

Fair enough

I thought

That I might stand out better as a rural student in REA

That’s why I’m disappointed

[young comet]

but deferred means that they're willing to give your app a second read, and iirc, for princeton its not like harvard where they defer basically everyone. i think you still have a potentially good shot -- they're interested in you and want to wait for the rest of the RD applications to see if you fit a good niche on their campus

[white marten]

Princeton defers a good deal of students

They’re lowk probably waiting for more Idaho applicants

[versed sail]

breh

[old turtle]

ED outcomes poll: #1268244147962118265 message

[versed sail]

bro we got 21% acceptance

[white marten]

Excellent

[versed sail]

Not bad at all.

[white marten]

And some people might still be celebrating

Honestly I’m so relieved

So so so so relieved

[old turtle]

so this is the normal you?

[shell turtle]

ur school?

or a2c

[old turtle]

they aren't waiting for anyone. You're just in the pool

[violet vector]

this thread

so do we get a demonstrated interest boost in rd from this?

[frigid lily]

any internationals got in?

[violet vector]

or did we just hand in a regular chance app early

[cosmic notch]

they dont defer everyone?

for REA

[jolly wasp]

60% deferral from the chat is crazy

[cosmic notch]

i thought it was a majority of early apps

[jolly wasp]

i wonder what is the actual percentage

[young comet]

i think you'll be fine if you keep your momentum up, i used to think MIT was my dream school until i got deferred -> WL LOL and i ended up here so who knows

[humble pebble]

Congrats to everyone who got in!

[white marten]

Yes

[tough juniper]

In the nicest way possible I don’t think this is the right mindset

[white marten]

Well, I tried

That’s all that counts 🙂

[tough juniper]

Of course

[primal burrow]

do we know the percentage of the applicants that princeton deferrs/rejects/accept with rea? or is that data not given to the public?

[white marten]

Besides I have another chance

PLUS

[willow plover]

rejected :/

[white marten]

im framing it like this

[tough juniper]

But I think my point is more to not think about yourself in a statistical manner like you did with the rural comment

[frigid lily]

i feel like every international got rejected

[white marten]

My essays were the first pieces of personal writing I have done in my entire life

[mortal ermine]

no there are intls in the poll

[cosmic notch]

is it more defer than reject 💀 and i got rejected

[frigid lily]

o shi

[mortal ermine]

azul and nguyen i think??

[primal burrow]

no, there were intl who got accepted and deferred

[white marten]

If my worst can get me deferred from one of the most selective universities in America, imagine how well my RD apps will do after several months of practice

[primal burrow]

how did you results go?

[white marten]

That’s what excites me the most

[steady tendon]

no truer statement lol

[jolly wasp]

intl deferred💀

harvard is better anyways so

[white marten]

My RD apps are LEAGUES better than my Princeton app was

[frigid lily]

i didnt do rea/ed

[white marten]

Because I had practice

[shell turtle]

yeah it's kind of a misinterpretation of the statistics

[old turtle]

Princeton Early outcomes poll: #1268244147962118265 message

[steady tendon]

lowk youre not wrong

[median zealot]

bruh

[median zealot]

traitor

[humble pebble]

Recruited athletes coming to skewed ED acceptance rates like 🤪

[steady tendon]

i say this as a depressed senior lmao

[cosmic notch]

wait is reject rarer than defer?

[median zealot]

😭 how's the thesis going

[median zealot]

yes

[steady tendon]

thats such an evil question

[jolly wasp]

for the whole pool i dont think so but for this chat yes

[white marten]

That’s okay guys I’ll get accepted RD

[cosmic notch]

ok if i got rejected is that a bad sign for RDs if i want to apply to schools of a similar caliber?

[old turtle]

that's ok, after you finish, the trauma of it only lasts a couple years

[white marten]

I have faith

A name change is in other

[cosmic notch]

i had stats "in range" but not like top 5 in school bc its very competitive

at my school

[young comet]

my general impression reading some regions' stats and also helping some people in past years is that rea is ~30% defer 50% reject or smth like that

[median zealot]

you can get rejected and still get into other good schools

[steady tendon]

i cant wait for it to end oh my god

[median zealot]

keep ur head up you got this

[steady tendon]

lol i got rejected from yale and got into pton off the waitlist

[old turtle]

the only copy of mine exists in the library. I'm pretty sure I burned all my notes

[white marten]

Let’s goooooo

[young comet]

so defer is kind of neither a soft reject (harvard) nor soft acceptance (stanford/yale)

[cosmic notch]

ok thanks

[steady tendon]

on my way to mudd to look up mol theses

[old turtle]

you'll never find it muahahahahahahaha

[white marten]

I want to say that a decent amount get accepted to not call it a soft reject

But not enough to call it a soft accept

[cosmic notch]

i just want to be realistic in this process, because i thought pton had a pretty high defer rate

[old turtle]

there's 150+ kids in my class + 9 years

[steady tendon]

thats insane

[cosmic notch]

and if that means i was in the bottom % of applicants, i dont want to waste time applying to schools i have no sho tat

[stone river]

so qhasti…enlighten us about what your thesis was about!

[white marten]

Im just so happy

I am so so so so so so happy

[violet vector]

i think i screwed up by really rushing the service essay
i had prob the best experience essay and interview i'll ever have but the service essay was probably more important anyways

[steady tendon]

lol narrows down the mol theses to look through

[jolly wasp]

my service essay was amazing but im not sure about the community one maybe it didnt answer the question correctly

its time to ace the rds we all got this💯💯💯

[young comet]

hmm don't think of it like that tbh, as long as your stats/academics are somewhat in order sometimes it's a lot more about how the school sees you fitting in there

[white marten]

Im gonna write a killer LOCI

[young comet]

like you miss 100% of the shots you don't take..

[white marten]

This actually means so much to me

Im so happy

I could have been rejected

[cosmic notch]

ok is like ~3.93 and ~1550 fine for RDs?

[white marten]

Im just so grateful

[old turtle]

if you find it, I want you to BURN it

[cosmic notch]

if 20+ people in the school have way over that

[warm panther]

am i gonna get muted if i say that the q1 shit is NOT portal astrology since everyone who got in on that poll did recieve the request?

[jolly wasp]

i think its totally fine

[cosmic notch]

ok

i just know of a lot more deferrals

[young comet]

yes lol, grades are a small part of your application compared to your essays and ECs imo

[cosmic notch]

yeah ok thanks

[violet vector]

a friend just made harvard

mixed feelings for sure

[young comet]

wow there used to be a lot more MOl majors...

[old turtle]

Timing matters. We didn't know anything beforehand. And if argue that we don't definitively know for sure

Beforehand is fear mongering. After is data

[twin elm]

*i didnt get a q1 request btw

i dont think it mattered that much?

[bleak current]

i just opened! i got rejected lol

[median zealot]

fill out poll ^

[white marten]

The longer I go the happier I get

Deferral is awesome

I was being an ungrateful twat before decisions and I regret that

[steady tendon]

nah its not worth speculating and doing decision voodoo

[west light]

Omg @crimson jackal @humble stream CONGRATS

[severe cypress]

congrats to everyone who was accepted!

[white marten]

I want to personally apologize to Qhasti for how I acted

[west light]

I am too scared to open

[white marten]

Do it

[west light]

Because I think I can see my decision already 😔

[west light]

I'll do it after my exam

[white marten]

@old turtle sorry

[white marten]

Right now

[west light]

Maybe in 3 hrs

[jolly wasp]

I think you cant focus on it without knowing ur decision

[west light]

Need someone to cry with

Okay see u all

[jolly wasp]

just open it

[west light]

I can I kind of forgot

About it

[jolly wasp]

than thats fine idk

[west light]

1-2-1 again

[severe cypress]

^ vice verca, I was rejected from caltech and stanford lol

[white marten]

I now have a lot of confidence in my RD chances

A Lot

[quasi spoke]

ik you guys got this for RD. you all will do amazing

yall lowk scare me

[white marten]

Im so proud of myself and I know I have a great shot in RD

if my app was bad this server would tell me lol

[jolly wasp]

thats amazing but i dont think you need to write this a 100 times

[white marten]

I’d get grilled

[white marten]

Sorry I’m trying to be positive to make up for a million weeks of being negative

Signing off, 🥔

[twin adder]

what happened

to yall

[severe cypress]

seems some people were rejected, some people were accepted and some with deferred

[twin adder]

ahhh welcome!

[jolly wasp]

the ratio is 1 2 1 again

[twin adder]

welcome home tiger!!

[woeful wigeon]

😱😱😱

[quasi spoke]

feels amazing to be a tiger today <3333

[twin elm]

i had a classmate get into harvard too

[pulsar crest]

Really?

I feel like if an AO sees that your application has already been passed over they’d be less inclined to admit you

And my applications not gonna improve between the two rounds

[humble pebble]

hi everyone how are we doing

[trim latch]

But applying early also means that they know that you're more likely to attend

[versed geyser]

im happy to see so many people were spared from being sent to new jersey

[trim latch]

Which helps their yield

[humble pebble]

💀

[trim latch]

Bro, I live here anyway

[versed geyser]

ok but like bergen county is a lot different from being in new brunswick

[trim latch]

Sure, but I literally live in Princeton

[versed geyser]

rats

youre not like aqll the other a2cers

i usually do great in my predictions

[old turtle]

How did you do?

[trim latch]

Deferred

Honestly expected it

[old turtle]

It's ok! You have another chance!

And other RD applications

[trim latch]

There are two other girls at my school who are also applying into engineering + are legacy + one has the highest GPA in the entire school

And that's just the people I know

[sonic dome]

deferred :')

[sonic dome]

[severe cypress]

Yep

[crimson jackal]

HOORAY

[old turtle]

So.... Does this mean the people who got in can still apply to schools RD?

[sonic dome]

💀

[old turtle]

Because back in my day, it was early decision and you were committed

[crimson jackal]

Yes LOL

Except @severe cypress

Bro cannot escape

[severe cypress]

Poll: #1268244147962118265 message

[humble stream]

visiting this weekend just to explore, any places i should check out?

[steady tendon]

are you thinking food or activities

[old turtle]

Gotta be honest, this makes me want to go to reunions more. I skipped like 10 years

[steady tendon]

visit princeton wawa

[steady tendon]

are you coming to reunions this year

[humble stream]

i live in pa its not very notable to me 💀

[steady tendon]

it was a funny joke lmfao

[humble stream]

both!!

[steady tendon]

but just do a campus tour, walk on the tow path (in the morning), and then hit up some good food places

depends on what youre feeling food wise

[quasi spoke]

really want to visit pton now

doesnt help that i live halfway across the globe

[steady tendon]

but i adore:

dvaraka (indian)
lan ramen & schouse (chinese)
bent spoon & thomas sweet (ice cream)

[humble stream]

BETTT im gonna try and hit some of these spots

[steady tendon]

if youre feeling a sandwich type vibe:

hoagie haven
olsson's (grilled cheese)

if you wanna do more fancy energy go to like witherspoon grill

[quasi spoke]

the only place i know of is this authentic chinese place near pton

[steady tendon]

which one

[quasi spoke]

my interviewer mentioned it but i forgot the name

[steady tendon]

schouse?

[severe cypress]

how'd you do

[quasi spoke]

maybe??? i forgot

[pine spade]

rejected 💀

[crimson jackal]

QHASTI SO WE CAN SEE EACH OTHER

[old turtle]

I can. I skipped between 2012-ish to this year. Next year is an off year. So it'll be cheap

I'm more inclined now because y'all can point and laugh at the old dude

[steady tendon]

i cant tell what the vibe is this for this years reunions

[old turtle]

I guess every other one you've seen has been pandemic affected. And this year's fireworks were accelerated by an impending storm

[steady tendon]

true

2022 reunions was insane

i was flabbergasted

[old turtle]

at this year's reunions, I only knew 3 people who where there going in. Ended up meeting a few more people? but it was pretty sparse for me overall

I guess that's what major years are for

[severe cypress]

its OK

me too

[old turtle]

Early decision outcomes poll: #1268244147962118265 message

[frigid lily]

so many accepts dam

[trim latch]

Idk, no one really shares at my school

[old turtle]

sounds like you'll find out tomorrow through the rumor mil

[frigid lily]

ikr

so real

[white marten]

Still riding the high lol

Especially after my friend got accepted to Caltech

[primal burrow]

sorry if this is a question that had been asked already, but it looks like princeton has a high deferral rate. is this similar to most ivies or t-20’s?

[white marten]

Depends

Some defer very little like Yale

[hallow jay]

i didnt get it and got in

[white marten]

Some defer very many like Harvard

Princeton is kinda in the middle

[balmy pike]

yoo i got this status update that says congratulations does that mean i got in

[elfin sedge]

Remember that if acceptances are overrepreswnted here deferrals will be too

Bc the overall average acceptance rate isn’t 25%

[balmy pike]

its got like a lion at the top

[white marten]

Deferred 50% in the server but we are above average so I would hazard that it’s probably closer to 30-40%

[tough juniper]

No they’re congratulating you on the fact they don’t have to deal with you anymore

[balmy pike]

whattt 😦

community college better anyway

[primal burrow]

mmm do you guys have any rough estimates on the percentage of princeton deferrals this year? (just a genuine question. not using it as a point for anything. i just wanted to know your guys’ thoughts and/or guesses)

[white marten]

Probably 30-40%

[gilded bear]

MIT defers like everyone 😭

[pulsar crest]

In this server maybe

Overall there’s probably a decently higher rejection rate compared to deferral

Does deferral mean u made it to committee

[primal burrow]

does princeton release information like this? or no?

[primal burrow]

deferral just means you’re up for reconsideration in the regular pool

same, that’s why i felt the beed to ask here. thank you for your guys’ response (:

[silver swift]

https://i.imgur.com/uoDQN2D.png

[balmy pike]

Does rejection mean princeton is playing hard to get

[devout furnace]

35 35 35 36

[devout furnace]

yes

[balmy pike]

good

for i moment there i thought i got rejected 😂

[primal burrow]

okay now i guess we play the waiting game

[white marten]

I would assume that deferral means you were at least in consideration but they need more information or context in some way

Which is the definition of deferral

[white marten]

College deferral

Not deferral in the general sense

[primal burrow]

well this isn’t the definition but https://admission.princeton.edu/blogs/deferred

[old turtle]

Deferral means that you could be admitted or rejected in RD. That's it. Don't read into it so much, it's a waste of energy

[white marten]

Fair enough

[old turtle]

it's completely out of your hands aside from the LOCI

[white marten]

Deferral means you weren’t rejected the first go around

[white marten]

What do you suggest in a loci

[balmy pike]

What does “unable to offer admission” mean

[old turtle]

I would suggest emphasizing your strengths

[balmy pike]

Defferal?

[primal burrow]

rejection

[balmy pike]

😂 good one

[old turtle]

it means troll

[balmy pike]

No but eeall

Really

[white marten]

Should I include updates on ECs

[old turtle]

if you like. I don't know what the constraints are on the LOIC

[white marten]

Cool

I’ll look into it

[primal burrow]

what other supplements do you think we should submit?

[thin panther]

Welcome to those accepted

[old turtle]

Does Princeton give you any guidance on submitting a LOCI?

or is it a checkbox or something

[thin panther]

idk actually

[primal burrow]

not that i know of. i would consult with my counselor tomorrow, though

[thin panther]

if it says to send one then send it, but go ahead anyway worst case they don't care

[quasi spoke]

idk but i remember reading somewhere that princeton doesn't really "like" LOCIs?? but i have heard of multiple people who got in through RD after a deferral by sending a LOCI and updates and stuff

so it might be a smart move to send them something

[thin panther]

don't overthink it

[primal burrow]

do you guys think a loci is enough then? or do you think providing other supporting documents can help?

[primal burrow]

okay. thank you for your insight! (:

[thin panther]

maybe if you win something prestigious and you let them know ig

through LOCI, not sure really it's probably not helpful

[primal burrow]

mmm, i see. thank you for your response! (:

[old turtle]

I think the crux is - try to figure out if there are any constraints to a LOCI, and then do what you can within those constraints

[primal burrow]

i’ll take note of that. thank you! (:

[old turtle]

they either will get a billion e-mails about it tomorrow, or they might already have something in their FAQ

don't start with, "you mfers made the last mistake you're gonna make cuz I know where you work!"

[primal burrow]

also, a dumb question but i had to ask before i go to my counselor tomorrow, would it be wise to email my regional ao? or is that desperate and annoying?

[thin panther]

i don't think they can really do anything

[primal burrow]

oh, i see. is this solely up to the ao’s now?

[old turtle]

I wouldn't do that unless you have something really really substantial to add. Because they're probably getting a lot of e-mails

If I'm not mistaken, there's a lot more time for the RD process compared to the ED process

they can be a lot more thorough

[primal burrow]

sorry, but could you perhaps further elaborate?

[old turtle]

though they'll have 5x? the applications

[primal burrow]

oh you mean for them to make a decision?

[old turtle]

like, the ED deadline -> ED announcements time versus RD deadline -> RD announcements

what's the RD deadline?

[primal burrow]

i get you. thanks

[primal burrow]

jan 1st

[old turtle]

and then announce in what ... mid March?

[primal burrow]

yes

[old turtle]

what was the ED deadline?

[primal burrow]

nov 1st

[old turtle]

so nov 1st to 12/12, that's like 45-ish days. They get 2 months for RD

[primal burrow]

mmmm. i see. thank you

[thin panther]

kids who got accepted what do you do

or are interested in

[old turtle]

I'd ask tomorrow when they're done celebrating

it's like all deferred kids in here stressing

[thin panther]

i don't really care that much honestly

just a chill question

[old turtle]

it had occurred to me as well

[thin panther]

what

[old turtle]

what these kids do

what do you do?

[thin panther]

comp lit math minor?

[old turtle]

solid/wacky combination

[primal burrow]

i’m glad that you guys will get the chance to enjoy the princeton environment with them. it was such a privilege to visit your guys’ campus. i hope that i get the chance to join you guys soon (:

[thin panther]

you'll be fine wherever you are dw

a friend I'm studying with told me to ask you what you do now

and I agree it's a good question

[old turtle]

I'm a computational biologist at an educational/clinical institution up north

Im just gonna kick back and celebrate tonight, LOCI can we worked on tomorrow

Any new princeton…ers

[thin panther]

why are you making promises to a discord mod dawg that's crazy

[white marten]

Several

[stone river]

quite a few

[fair marsh]

Wooooo!

Reveal yourselves

[old turtle]

I haven't told people here where I work, so I don't want to be more specific

[white marten]

There’s at least 12 SCEA and 1 QB

[stone river]

probs busy getting turnt after the euphoric high of acceptances

[old turtle]

there's a poll in the pins: #1268244147962118265 message

[fair marsh]

Real

[primal burrow]

i assume most of them are celebrating still. most of us (seniors) here rn got deferred
